looking up to the sky Across the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District, students and staff took to the fields to watch the 2024 solar eclipse. On Long Island, about 90 percent of the moon was covered by the sun. Donning protective eyewear, the fields of several high schools and middle schools were flooded with groups of students. The next total solar eclipse to approach the New York area won’t be until 2079 — making the astronomical spectacle all the more special. Right, Xavier Jones and Brody Flynn, both in ninth grade, watched the rare event at Sanford H. Calhoun High School’s viewing party. Above, Joe Stabile, in 10th-grade, and Dominic Artale, in 11th-grade saw the earliest phase of sun coverage. Story, more photos, Page 3.
