Eclipse: shadow passes over Mt. Jefferson
(Continued from page 1)
“A solar eclipse gives a
rare opportunity to view the
atmosphere of the sun with
our own eyes. Besides see-
ing the sun’s atmosphere—
the corona— streaming off
into space, structures of
dense gas called promi-
nences may also be visible.”
The Washington NASA
Space Grant Consortium
continues: “The generosity
of the Warm Springs com-
munity provides an oppor-
tunity to experience to this
event through the culture of
the Northwest tribes.”
The reservation will not
only see the total eclipse, but
has another added feature:
Mt. Jefferson is the only
mountain in the path of the
2017 eclipse shadow. This is
true even as the path of the
eclipse will be from coast to
coast.
“A bonus is the prospect
of seeing Mt. Jefferson to the
west darken as totality enve-
lopes this prominent peak,”
says to the website
greatamericaneclipse.com
The mountain will darken
about 20 seconds before the
shadow passes across the area
of the Warm Springs com-
munity.
The 2017 total eclipse—
also being called the Ameri-
can Eclipse, or the Great
American Eclipse—will begin
in the Pacific Ocean, and
then move across the coun-
try from northwest to the
southeast, passing over
South Carolina and then out
into the Atlantic Ocean.
“Oregon will be one of
the most popular states to
view the eclipse,” according
to the website.
“While the rest of the
U.S. offers a longer duration
of totality, sections of the
eclipse in Oregon offer the
best weather prospects any-
where along the entire
eclipse path.”
As the shadow passes
over the reservation, the
eclipse totality will last a little
over two minutes.
