WOOD DUCK—This is perhaps nature’s most
beautiful duck, and he is also North Carolina’s
most numerous duck. Once threatened, these
birds have responded to proper game
management and are now very common.
During the past week, first time in many years,
duck hunters were allowed to have five wood
ducks in their daily harvest. Earlier there was
a two-bag daily limit.
Partial Eclipse Slated
For Today in Piedmont
BY STEVE GILLIAM
UNC-G News Bureau
Although Oct. 12 is generaUy
acknowledged as the birthday of,
Christopher Columbus, the date
will feature a little something
extra-courtesy of the sun and the
moon-when it rolls around this
year.
A solar eclipse.
The astronomical phenomenon
should be visible to residents of
the Piedmont, according to Dr.
Steve Danford, an assistant
professor of physics at the
University of North Carolina at
Greensboro.
“I don’t think the view here
will be spectacular, with
everything blacked out and all
the streetlights switching on in
the afternoon,” said Danford.
“But with a little effort, most
people should be able to get a
look at it.”
The eclipse is due to occur at
4:35 p.m. EDT On Columbus Day,
Danford said. The best view of
the eclipse will be in Bogata,
Columbia, where the dark center
of the moon’s shadow, the um
bra, will fall across the earth.
“People in this area should be
able to get a look at a partial
eclipse if they’ve got the
equipment,” said Danford.
“We’ll be in the penumbra, the
outer shadow area where the sun
is partially obscured.
“If it’s a nice, clear day, the
sky will begin to look a little hazy
and the sun will darken a little
bit, but not drastically.”
About two-thirds of the United
States will be located in the
penumbra. The U.S. Nautical
Almanac Office in Washington,
D.C. calculated that between 25
and 30 percent of the sun would
be eclipsed in the Piedmont on
Oct. 12, a figure that Danford
says will keep the eclipse from
passing unnoticed.
Danford himself will be ob
serving the eclipse at UNC-G,
where he teaches astronomy
courses, on one of the Univer
sity’s three telescopes. His in
terest in astronomy is a deep one
and he holds the Ph.D. degree
from Yale University in stellar
astronomy.
For area residents who don’t
happen to own telescopes,
Danford recommends the classic
way of watching eclipses: the
pinhole camera. It’s easy to
construct, he says, and requires
only a shoe box, a sheet of white
paper and a pinhole.
The paper should be glued in at
one end of the box and a pinhole,
slightly larger than a pencil
point, should be punched in the
other end.
“An image can be seen when
you hold the hole up toward the
sun,” said Danford. “The image
will be a small one but it can be
seen if the alignment is right.”
Danford noted the risk of
blindness or eye damage in
volved in using filters or tinted
glass when looking directly at an
eclipse through binoculars or a
telescope.
“It’s best to leave them alone
unless you know what you’re
doing,” said Danford. “It’s just
too dangerous.
“If you plan to look at an
eclipse for a long time, the sun’s
heat can crack a filter. There’s a
slash of light when the filter
cracks and if you’re looking
through it, you’re in trouble.
That sudden flash can cause
blindness or permanent
damage.”
Most of the equipment should
be set up 15 to 20 minutes in
advance of the eclipse, Danford
says, to allow time to get
acquainted with the pinhole
camera.
Although the Columbus Day
eclipse won’t be the most
spectacular one to come along,
Danford said another total
eclipse (partial for the Piedmont
area) will occur in 1979. The U.S.
Nautical Almanac Office
reported that two total eclipses,
in 2017 and 2024, will provide
good darkening effects for area
viewers.
And on May 11, 2078, over 100
years hence, the office reported a
total eclipse will drape the center
of its shadow directly across
Greensboro.
