Alaskans Had
Ringside Seal for
Solar Eclipse
ANCHORAGE Ufi — Alaskans
had a ringside seat for Saturday’s
solar eclipse and the view ranged
from perfect to poor as the path
of totality arced across the big
northern state.
It was clear here at Alaska’s
largest city. An eerie semi-twilight
began about 9:40 a.m. (2:40 p.m.
EST> with the sun half covered.
Crowds gathered in clusters on
downtown streets.
At Fairbanks, in the Alaska In
terior, the spectacle was visible
through scattered clouds.
It was raining along the Bering
Sea coast, where the path of total
blackout first reached the conti
nent, but good viewing conditions
prevailed along an arc through Tal
keetna and Gulkana — 12 miles
north of Anchorage.
The Alaska Railroad sent a 10
car special excursion train to the
Talkeetna area with 1,000 persons
from the Anchorage area. It was
raining over Northway, on the
Canadian border, and Southeast
Alaska had cloudy conditions.
Most of the spectators on An
chorage streets were using pinhole
viewing devices, mindful of warn
ings that eye damage could result
from direct views.
At Fairbanks a big parade, high
j light of the city’s Golden Days
celebration commemorating dis
! covery of gold 61 years ago, was
timed to start with the eclipse.
An apex of the eclipse in An
chorage it was like bright moon
light, with sharp shadows. Street
lights were turned on through the
downtown area.
There was a strange sight at
Fairbanks, as clouds drifted by the
eclipse. The temperature seemed
to drop slightly.
At Sitka, in Southeast Alaska,
there was a view until the sun
I was half covered. Then clouds
| moved in and obscured the sun.
The Air Force Officers Associ
ation Council will meet Thursday
evening in the City Hall.
