Description

Be prepared for the historic Solar Eclipse on April 8. We will show you what to expect, what tools you may want to acquire and how to safely observe the eclipse. We discuss suitable ways to photograph the event and how to safely watch it with your own eyes. Please bring a large empty cereal box to construct your own personal solar eclipse viewer. Solar observing will be available outdoors (as weather permits). We will simulate the views from different locations from Richmond Hill and around locations in our SkyLab.
All participants will receive a pair of Certified Solar Glasses. Please wear / bring appropriate supplies for being outside. All individuals/family members attending this program must be registered and a registered adult must accompany any registered participants under the age of 16. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the program start time in order to be signed in. This program runs rain or shine.
