Event Details

For Grades 1-6

Two solar eclipses are coming to North America: an Annular Eclipse in 2023 and a Total Solar Eclipse in 2024!  Join us for a special presentation by Paul Cirillo, Solar System Ambassador for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who will be presenting on the history of eclipses, how and why they happen, where the best viewing locations are for the October 2023 and April 2024 eclipses, and how to prepare for observing these celestial displays of nature. After the presentation, make a simple craft, and pick up a pair of solar eclipse glasses to safely view the eclipse. Registration required.
