Experience the celestial wonder of an annular eclipse! Astronomers will provide a live digital view for all to safely see on screen and through special telescopes.

Here are the top things to see during this event:

1-The Ring of Fire: Watch as the Moon creates a fiery ring around the Sun, leaving a glowing halo in the sky.

2-Unique Shadows: Witness the peculiar crescent-shaped shadows on the ground, creating a stunning natural spectacle.

3-Changing Colors: Observe the shifting colors of the landscape as the sunlight dwindles

The Paul Morgan Observatory was designed and built by UCC professor Dr. Paul Morgan in 2016 as part of the beginning astronomy program and community outreach. It provides onsite and online viewings of the Sun and night sky, is the only public observatory in southern Oregon, and is the only all-digital observatory in the Northwest.
