    Free Online One Hour Workshop: Kick-Start Your Planning for 2023 and 2024 Solar Eclipse Events
    Tuesday, October 25, 2022; 2pm - 3pm  Eastern 

    The 2023 Annular Solar Eclipse (October 14, 2023) and the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse (April 8, 2024) are right around the corner! In 2023, the path of totality will cross Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Texas. In 2024, the path of totality will cross Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. During both events, all of North America will have at least a partial solar eclipse. Join this online workshop to learn more about the science of solar eclipses and the many resources available to engage your audiences in these exciting celebrations. We will be joined by presenters who will share their insights, experiences, expertise, as well as information about new resources that will be available for 2023 and 2024. Kick-start your planning today and be ready for these exciting events.

    I hope this program will make mention of this being an ideal time for museums and planetariums in the path of totality to engage with their local school systems, universities, chambers of commerce and municipalities, to develop a comprehensive approach to making the most of this event. Such a consortium was put together in the St. Louis area well in advance of the 2017 eclipse and it made for a better experience for everyone.

    Excellent point, John, and this will definitely get mentioned during this workshop.

    Thank you for reminding us all of how important community collaboration and inclusion are for successful events!
