The last solar eclipse to be visible in the United States this century will not darken the skies of Lawrence, but will be partially visible to those who look at the right time, according to John Davidson, chairman of physics and astronomy.
At about 10.30 a.m. on Feb. 26, the moon will block about half of the sun's light over Lawrence. In Oregon and Canada, the sun will be completely blackout by the moon for about two minutes.
THE NEXT SOLAR expipe that will be visible in the United States will occur in 2017. The last eclipse seen in the United States occurred in 1970.
A trip to Manitoba, Canada, where the February eclipse will be 100 percent visible, is being planned by the Astronomy Associates of Lawrence, a KU astronomy club, Davidson announced last week.
A member of the astronomy club, Don Bord, professor of astronomy, said at least 44 persons would take a bus to Brandon, Manitoba, on Feb. 23 to observe and photograph the full solar exisse.
All reservations for that bus have been all, he said, but another bus might be chartered through Mauniput Travel Agency, 900 Massachusetts St., if 25 more
persons make reservations for the Canada trip.

ABOUT 10 KU students and three faculty members have signed up for the trip so far, Bord said.
Gerry Goetsch from Maupoutin said anyone who bought a reservation could make the trip to Canada. A round-trip ticket from Lawrence costs $129 and includes two nights lodging in Manitoba, he said.
Dave Baysinger, a Denver astronomer, said people who are interested in the moon would be able to afford a trip to Canada would see the eclipse in Colorado. He said the eclipse might darken the skies in Denver because automatic street lights come on.
People should avoid looking directly at the eclipse to prevent possible eye damage. Davidson said special telescopes, which will project an image enlace onto a white screen, will be set up on the KU campus for safe viewing.
At least three telescopes will be set up at Lindley and Wescohalls and the Daisy Hill residence halls.
The telescopes are tentatively scheduled to be available for public use between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., Feb. 26, Davidson said.

Extra funds to pay for union basement
A budget surplus of $484,130 will be used to finish the basement of the satellite union, Keith Lawton, director of facilities planning at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration called for the basement to remain unfinished.
Lawton said KU had the surplus because bids for the project were lower than the initial allocation of $2.5 million for the structure, scheduled to be completed this spring, was insufficient.
The building is being financed by funds from the student activity fee, by transferred Kansas Union bonds and by state-budgeted funds.
Lawton said the same architectural firm that had drawn the original plans for the satellite union was making another set of plans. He said those plans should be completed in February.
BIDS FOR the project will be taken within 90 days, he said.
Lawton said that if the bids were larger than the surplus, KU would take alternate bids.
"It's unlikely we'll get more funding," he said. "The alternate bids will make it possible to award as much of the work as possible."
"We delighted that, hopefully, we're going to be able to finish this thing up," he said.
Frank Burke, director of the Kansas union, and the basement probably would have had a lot of room used for meetings and social gatherings; an activities area, into which student legal services and the wilderness discovery storage space are located; and a storage space for books, food and beverages.
He said that priorities for the 17,000-square foot basement had been set by an advisory committee of students, staff and administration officials.
