Tamara Jones+FollowNew England’s 2026 eclipse views: What to expectMark your calendars—2026 brings four eclipses, but New England won’t be in the sweet spot for the year’s most dramatic sky shows. The total lunar eclipse on March 3 will offer only a partial glimpse before the moon sets, while the August 12 solar eclipse will appear as just a partial cover-up here. If you’re hoping for those jaw-dropping, Instagram-worthy moments, the best seats are out west. Still, even a partial eclipse is worth a look—just don’t forget your certified glasses for the solar event! Who’s planning a road trip for a better view, or are you staying local? #Science #NewEngland #Eclipse202620Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowNorthern Lights could dazzle New England skiesA rare chance to catch the Northern Lights is lighting up New England this week! Thanks to a burst of solar activity, the aurora might be visible as far south as Massachusetts and Connecticut late Thursday into Friday. Folks in rural Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont have the best shot, but even those in the Berkshires or quiet corners of Connecticut might spot a faint glow on the northern horizon. Clear skies are key, so keep an eye on the weather and NOAA alerts. Anyone planning to stay up for this? Share your favorite local stargazing spots! #Science #NorthernLights #NewEngland20Share
