Event Details

Get ready for the April 8th total solar eclipse!

On April 8th, North America will see its second total solar eclipse in seven years.  Even though we are not in the Path of Totality, we will still have a pretty amazing light show in our sky that day!

This program will discuss what eclipses are, why they are so rare, and how to safely view them.  Registered attendees will leave with eclipse viewers or glasses.

Due to space and material limitations, registration is required.  You must be registered to get eclipse viewers or glasses.
