Join Susan Rolke, a NASA Eclipse Ambassador and astronomy expert, to learn all about the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8th. This is an all ages program.

NASA partner

Susan will be joined by Raven Groblewski, a Franklin Pierce University student and partner in the NASA Eclipse Ambassador program. Their presentation features beautiful images and discussion about exactly what happens during an eclipse, the many myths about them, and best ways to safely view. They will also share fun activities that can be done with light and images during the eclipse.

This is a great program for families. We will have some give-aways for folks to experiment with during the eclipse and free glasses for all who attend and enough to share with their families and friends at home.
