Gazing Into Totality: How to Prep for an Eclipse w/ Dr. Kate Russo
Members Only
On April 8th, a trail of darkness will sweep across North America as the Moon completely blocks the light of the Sun. This path of totality will touch parts of Mexico, the United States, and Canada, causing darkness to fall during the day. Whether you'll be in the path of totality or not this April, if you want to properly experience this celestial phenomenon, you need to be prepared!
Dr. Kate Russo is an umbraphile who has been chasing eclipses for more than two decades. In this live, virtual experience, Dr. Kate, will share her excitement and passion about the totality experience and how you can be part of the solar eclipse fun no matter where you are.
Drawing from her own experiences and research insights, she will highlight how you can prepare for the greatest show on earth!
