People in two narrow paths will have the full eclipse experience each time. Everyone else (an estima ted 500 million people\, including all of us in the Bay Area) will see a n ice partial eclipse\, where the Moon covers a good part of the Sun. The ta lk will describe how eclipses come to be (and why they are total only on E arth)\, what scientists learn during eclipses\, exactly when and where the eclipses of 2023 and 2024 will be best visible\, and how to observe the e clipses and the Sun safely. \n\nABOUT ANDREW FRAKNOI\n\nAndrew Fraknoi r etired a few years ago as the chair of the astronomy department at Foothil l College and still teaches short\, noncredit courses on astronomy at the University of San Francisco and SF State.
