Mount Wilson Observatory has canceled its live, in-person event to view Monday’s solar eclipse, due to bad weather that could make access to the site hard and hazardous. The observatory, perched high above Pasadena in the Angeles National Forest, had invited the public to its in-person event at the vintage site, where it had planned to stream the eclipse live to its Auditorium. What was even more visually tantalizing was that the eclipse was going to be projected in hydrogen alpha, a filter which allows participants to see surface features on the sun. But rainstorms and cold temperatures over Easter weekend created 10 inches of new snow at the observatory, and another storm is forecast for this Friday, April 5, which could prompt road closures and safety issues
