See a Partial Solar Eclipse with an Astronomer
Sunday, Oct. 14, 12:30 pm
Join us as the moon gets in the way of the Sun on Saturday, October 14th at 12:30! We will be able to view a rare site of a partial ‘Ring of Fire’ with Astronomer Charlie Eder from the Vanderbilt Planetarium will be joining us with his solar telescope and various solar viewing tools! We will have the chance to look at the sun safely and learn from one of the experts in the field. From Long Island, we will have the opportunity to safely view a partial solar eclipse.
This will not happen in the United States again until 2039!!
Don’t worry if it’s raining, Charlie is always prepared. He has one of his fabulous presentations on solar eclipses that will be ready in the event of inclement weather.
