The Rangeley Highlander interviewed Shawn Laatsch, director of the University of Maine’s Versant Power Astronomy Center, about the upcoming total solar eclipse April 8, which is expected to have a direct path through Maine. “The sky gets dark, like twilight. It’s silvery. Shadows are weird. You’ll see some of the brighter stars and planets. It looks like there’s a hole in the sky. Birds and animals pay attention. The temperature drops a little bit. Winds typically die down,” said Laatsch. “It’s an amazing, total-body experience.”
