From a Forbes news article about the solar eclipse next Monday 4/8/24: 'Scientists suggest people watching the eclipse wear green and red to maximize the phenomenon known as the Purkinje effect, a change in colors brought on by transitioning from sunlight to darkness.

That effect—which makes the red colors appear darker in contrast to brighter greens and blues—typically takes 20 to 30 minutes to perceive as day turns to night, though during an eclipse the effect takes only a matter of seconds, according to Cleveland Clinic ophthalmologist Nicole Bajic...

The Purkinje effect is not the only phenomenon scientists predict stargazers will be able to take advantage of during the eclipse. Astronomers also say people will be able to catch a so-called double diamond ring, a rare effect when the last glimpse of the dimming sun suddenly turns into a bright flash around its rim, before appearing to extinguish completely, similar to the flash of the sunset over the horizon."

Happy watching everyone!

COVID-19’s impact on Colorado has been widespread and its effects on our business community have been particularly profound. Many businesses are faced with finding ways to pay employees and expenses while remaining viable in the face of this major economic interruption.

The $2 trillion CARE Act is a major economic resource to help Colorado’s small businesses experiencing economic harm. A key portion of this act is the Paycheck Protection Program which allocates $349 billion in forgivable loans to help small businesses, independent contractors and nonprofits meet payroll and rent needs. This is a very important economic resource and Governor Polis and I strongly encourage you to review this federal program to see how it can help your business.

The first step in accessing these forgivable loans is to prepare the materials necessary to apply. That includes confirming your eligibility, gathering the necessary records (payroll, rent, utilities, tax and bank records) and estimating the eligible amount of your forgivable loan.

For additional details on the Paycheck Protection Program’s forgivable loans and a comprehensive list of state and federal resources available for Colorado’s businesses, visit choosecolorado.com. SBDC representatives are available to answer your questions through the COVID Economic Hotline at (303) 860-5881.

The Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade is committed to keeping you informed and connected as we face this shared challenge. (From Betsy Markey, Executive Director, OEDIT)
