TUESDAY TOGETHER WITH

Good Morning Wilmington!

We all made it through the eclipse of 2024. I was hoping for a more dramatic experience here in Wilmington but I guess you had to travel a significant distance for that. No worries, the next eclipse will be in 2024 & 2045. The one AFTER that will be going right over Raleigh in 2078! People all over the country did a great job of documenting their experiences during the eclipse. Before you throw out those ISO Solar-Safety glasses, consider donating them to Astronomers Without Borders where they will recycle the glasses to other parts of the world during their solar events. Warby Parker glasses store will be opening at Mayfaire Town center in 2024. This will the closest place to us where you can donate the glasses.
