Eclipse (Continued from front page)
The Douglas County Libraries – Castle Pines also got into the spirit and had lines of people hoping to receive a pair of glasses, which were provided through a national grant. “It was heartening to see so many \[people\] share with their neighbors
so more could
experience the
view through the
glasses,” said Aspen
Walker, manager of
the Douglas County
Libraries – Castle
Pines. “We had a
spotting scope set up
to cast an image of the eclipse on the ground, pinhole cameras, astronaut ice cream, and the NASA livestream running in the event hall.”
Memories were made, and for a few hours, nothing mattered except the magical eclipse. Who is already planning for the 2024 eclipse?
Residents shared glasses and the eclipse experience at the Douglas County Libraries – Castle Pines.
Photo enthusiasts spent the eclipse capturing the magic of the event.
