Free Public UNK Planetarium Show: A Solar Eclipse Makes It Dark
Advertisement
If you turn around, you might see something bright in your eyes – perhaps the Sun! But every now and then instead there might be a shadow on you – not all of the time, but just for a bit. Yes, sometimes the Sun gets blocked, not just by clouds but by Earth’s Moon. This presentation will explore (1) the different types of astronomical eclipses with an emphasis on the various types of solar eclipses, (2) how you can view upcoming eclipse events, and (3) 80s power ballads that inspire puns in planetarium show titles.
Free tickets will be available to reserve at 8:00 AM CT on Friday 10/30.
Shows are recommended for engaged grade school students through adults. Shows are strongly discouraged for ages 2 and under. Please be prepared to turn off phones and smartwatches, remove lighted shoes, etc., so that all participants may enjoy the show in its intended dark, quiet environment. Please arrive 5 minutes before your show, or ticket reservations may be released to allow for walk-in attendees.
In conjunction with the show, the UNK Astronomy Club will hold telescope observingoutside of Bruner Hall of Science @ 8:00 PM(weather permitting).
