Total eclipse approaches

The only solar eclipse visible in the United States this year will begin at 9:50 EST on Feb. 26. The moon will completely obscure the sun over equatorial South America from 10:48 until 12:09 EST. Most parts of the U.S. should see a partial eclipse.

Americans will not see either 1998’s second solar eclipse, on Aug. 21, nor its three lunar eclipses, on Mar. 13, Aug. 8, and Sep. 6.

Q2 has decided to cease operations, as of Feb. 27. Therefore, David Braverman is immediately available for programming work.
