Since before recorded history, solar eclipses have inspired awe, reverence and fear. And even in a skeptical modern age, it can be a profound experience to see the sun, the source of all life, go dim. On Sunday May 20, we'll have the chance to witness this rare celestial event, as Toledo falls at the extreme edge of visibility for a partial solar eclipse, when the moon briefly passes between the earth and sun. Head to Wildwood Preserve Metropark at 7pm and take part in a group viewing, where you'll receive special glasses that make it safe to view the sun directly. 5100 W. Central Ave. 419-535-3050. www.metroparkstoledo.com.
