Solar Eclipses: Your Guide to the 2023/2024 Celestial Events (Live Public Talk)

Two eclipses are crossing over most of the U.S. in the next few months! The first is an Annular Eclipse on Oct. 14, 2023, and the second will be a Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. An eclipse can be an awe-inspiring celestial event that drastically changes the appearance of the two biggest objects in our sky: the Sun and Moon. It also gives us the opportunity to study our Sun, Earth, and our space environment.

Join us for a live discussion on how eclipses happen, the different types of eclipses we can see, what we can learn from them, and how and where you can experience these upcoming events – even if you can’t see it in person!

Reminder: It is not safe to look directly at the Sun and special eye protection is required for viewing any type of solar eclipse.
