Event Details

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk. 

Join us for an informative session with "Off the Path" Eclipse Ambassadors Bob Kelly and Alexa Dumitriu who will describe how eclipses happen, why they are not common, and how to view an eclipse safely. Q&A follows.
