Unto the Populace:

If you get a chance tomorrow, consider the following amateur astronomy
opportunity:

This is a rare occasion and the next such will be 2117.  There will be
"viewing stations" around the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti areas, conducted by
the University Lowbrow Astronomers:

Note locations at the Sherzer at EMU, and downtown Ann Arbor at the
Public Library.  BUT PLEASE REMEMBER!  The Sun is the "forbidden" star
and cannot be gazed upon directly!  Find an astronomer with the
appropriate filter -- there will be many occasions of "sidewalk
astronomy" tomorrow afternoon.  And the weather should cooperate.

Last chance until 2117!
