MARCH NEWS
Prepare for the Solar EclipseWe have already given away our supply of 500 free eclipse glasses. But we have other ways to help you safely view the upcoming solar eclipse: Pat Monteith, a NASA Solar System Ambassador, will explain the science of the eclipse and how to safely view it on Saturday, March 30th at 11:00 am in Logan Auditorium. Free eclipse glasses will be available to program attendees, while supplies last. For all ages — adults, teens, and families with children. If you don’t have solar eclipse glasses, you can make your own homemade eclipse viewer in one of our workshops on Tuesday, April 2nd, 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, and Saturday, April 6th, 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, in Logan Auditorium. All materials will be provided. In Massachusetts, the eclipse is expected to be seen Monday, April 8th starting at 2:16pm. Peak coverage will be 93%, at 3:30 pm. It will end at 4:39 pm. |
