Astronomy: Eclipses

The Great American Eclipse is just a year away, so let’s talk about eclipses! Jim Hahn will cover the mechanics and terminology of eclipses, including why some eclipses are total, while others are partial, annular, or hybrid. Do eclipses happen on other planets or in other solar systems? We’ll find out. Then we’ll talk about where to see next year’s eclipse and what to watch for.  

This will be an indoor program, but if it’s clear, we will have telescopes set up afterward for a last look at the constellations of spring.
