Oct 14 Partial Solar Eclipse
October 14, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
=Registration Not Required=
Come watch the moon take a small bite out of the corner of the Sun as it passes between the Sun and the Earth. Unfortunately for us, this eclipse will be nowhere near full but we will watch the event unfold safely on a monitor that will be fed live images from a telescope fitted with a special solar filter. Learn what causes a solar eclipse and what it would look like from space peering down at the Earth, too. Here is a resource about the eclipse and related information: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/eclipses/2023/oct-14-annular/where-when
