Learn about eclipse science, culture, history and art with hands-on activities to make the most of this remarkable April 8th event happening in our own backyards!

On April 8 the Evansville region will experience an event that won’t happen again for another 400 years.  A total solar eclipse will cause us to be in complete darkness for 3 minutes and 3 seconds in the middle of the day. Join our area’s NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador and ASP/NSF Eclipse Star Educator Mandy Scurry to learn about eclipse science, culture, history and art while collecting ways to make the most of this remarkable event happening in our own backyards.
