On Monday, April 8, 2024 a 100-mile wide strip of North America experienced a total solar eclipse, visible from San Diego as a partial eclipse.
The San Diego State University Astronomy Department and Schwartz Astronomical Society organized a community gathering, providing telescopes equipped with solar filters, eclipse glasses, and solar binoculars for safe observation of the eclipse.
