Conference “Earth’s Motions and Eclipses” with Dr. Iván Padrón

EarthsMotions01

On the occasion of the total eclipse, predicted for August 21, 2017, the Earth will cross the shadow of the moon and totally or partially obscure the image of the sun for a viewer on Earth. Yesterday, Dr. Iván Padrón, one of our faculty members delighted students, faculty and administrative staff of our Orlando campus with the conference; “Earth’s Motions and Eclipses” analyzing the different kinds of Earth’s motions and their consequences as well as the basic principles of the eclipses.

During the total solar eclipse, when the sun’s disk is completely covered by the moon, it is safe to view the eclipse with the naked eye. However, sky watchers should NEVER look at a partial solar eclipse without proper eye protection. Looking directly at the sun, even when it is partially covered by the moon, can cause serious eye damage or blindness.

This conference is part of an excellent initiative to keep our campus community current in science, technology, business, and general knowledge.
