Street Lights To Be On For Eclipse Saturday
Hundreds of Hagerstown workers will go to work by moonlight as municipal power turns on street lamps at 8 30 a m and stays lit until 10 00 a m during Saturday's solar eclipse. Drivers must use headlights and the fringe of the moon's shadow will pass over the city around 8 50 a m. Weather will drop, birds will quiet, and daylight will return by 10 18 a m. Five eclipse points seek confirmation of moon size path and the Einstein versus Newton theories alongside sun flame behavior and corona composition.
