Will you be viewing today’s total solar eclipse?

People in 15 states will have the opportunity to see the moon completely block the sun, revealing our star’s relatively faint corona.

Virginia residents will experience a partial
eclipse with about 80% coverage of the sun, according to NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.

Eye safety during a total solar eclipse is extremely important! Here are some tips from NASA:

1. View the sun through eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer during the partial eclipse phases before and after totality.

2. You can view the eclipse directly without proper eye protection only when the moon completely obscures the Sun’s bright face – during the brief and spectacular period known as totality. (You’ll know it’s safe when you can no longer see any part of the Sun through eclipse glasses or a solar viewer.)

3. As soon as you see even a little bit of the bright sun reappear after totality, immediately put your eclipse glasses back on or use a handheld solar viewer to look at the Sun.

April is World Autism Month

Around 1 in 36 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, according to the CDC.

Autism Society Central Virginia provides information that connects individuals and families with resources that best meets their needs.

The organization recognizes the varied experiences across the autism spectrum, emphasizing the need for equitable access to supports, services, and resources.

The Autistm Society states, “We believe that acceptance is creating a world where everyone in the Autism community is connected to the support they need, when they need it.”
