Solar Eclipse Watch Party & Community Cleanup
April 8 @ 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm EDT
The Reservoir Center was happy to host 28 participants to watch the partial solar eclipse in Washington, DC. The Reservoir Center distributed solar eclipse glasses to all as we gathered on the lawn in the Capital Riverfront Park to view the eclipse. We were graced with wonderful weather (high in the low 70s) and limited cloud cover to visualize an 87% eclipse of the sun. A member of our group even brought a telescope with appropriate solar tinting to capture images of the special event.
After the maximum eclipse had passed a portion of our group walked along the Anacostia River collecting trash and recycling to beautify our Navy Yard neighborhood. After an hour of cleaning up the community, we refreshed those calories lost by having an ice cream social outside of the Ice Cream Jubilee, which is right outside of our Reservoir Center property. Again, given the beautiful weather we were able to enjoy our treats outside where we were able to continue the engaging conversation on our respective interests during this upcoming water week.
We want to thank everyone who participated.
