- On this special eclipse episode of New York Public Health Now, hosts Commissioner McDonald and Executive Deputy Commissioner Morne are joined by Jason Gough, a meteorologist and member of Governor Hochul’s eclipse communications team, and NYSDOH's Western Regional Office Director, amateur astronomer and eclipse chaser Patrick Toye.
They discuss New York's eclipse-related preparations, what to expect before, during, and after the celestial show which will be occurring across New York State the afternoon of April 8, 2024.
Anyone visiting New York State for the eclipse is encouraged to come early and stay late, and along with extra water, snacks and a full tank of gas, be sure to pack your patience. The number of visitors will likely lead to much longer travel times immediately before and after the eclipse, especially in the North Country of the Adirondacks.
Patrick and Jason also share their experiences of viewing previous total solar eclipses, how to view the eclipse safely using ISO-certified eclipse glasses (not regular sunglasses!) and what makes this eclipse both a historic and memorable event.
