In anticipation of the total solar eclipse on April 8, Allegheny College will offer a planetarium show “The Eclipse in Our Own Backyard” on Sunday, April 7 at 7 p.m. in Wible Planetarium (Carr Hall Room 121). The session will feature Allegheny’s full-dome and star projectors, offering a fun way to prepare for the total eclipse. This show is a repeat of the one held in March.
The presentation, hosted by Professor of Physics James Lombardi, will describe why eclipses occur, safe observation techniques, and what to expect on the day of the eclipse. As an added bonus, all attendees will receive complimentary eclipse glasses.
The show is free, appropriate for all ages, and open to anyone. Registration is required due to limited space, so secure your spot by filling out this form.
