What is an eclipse? Why do they happen? This show will dive into the mechanisms that cause an eclipse, address common misconceptions surrounding eclipses, and shed light on the differences between types of eclipses. A total solar eclipse is one of nature’s most incredible events.  On April 8th, 2024, observers across North America will have the opportunity to experience this phenomenon. Audience members will know what to expect on eclipse day, how to safely view the eclipse, and why it will be worth it to travel to the path of totality!
