Join us for a special program that explores the annular solar eclipse this Saturday, October 14, at 10 a.m. What is an annular solar eclipse? An annular eclipse is where the moon passes between the Earth and Sun, but the moon does not completely hide the sun. Why are some eclipses total and others not? Learn why! This program will talk about safe practices for sun viewing, activities for families (while supplies last), and an opportunity to view the annular eclipse with 60% coverage!
