While many people think they need solar-viewing glasses to safely observe an eclipse, there are MANY safe alternatives. This web seminar will demonstrate easy and practical ways to view the upcoming solar eclipses taking place on October 14, 2023 (annular) and April 8, 2024 (total).
In addition, key to a successful solar eclipse observing experience is getting school administrators on board – meaning talking with them early and often. The web seminar will cover the key messages that need to be understood by school leadership.
