Don’t miss your chance to view the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024\u2014 it will be the last one visible in the U.S. until 2044!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A solar eclipse represents an intricate dance between the sun, moon, and Earth. The study of solar eclipses has also had a profound impact on scientific discoveries and our understanding of the universe. The sun will reach 90 percent totality in Milwaukee on April 8. On that day, the moon will block 90 percent of the sun as the it passes between the sun and the Earth, and the three align perfectly. Other lucky locations<\/a> in the U.S. will achieve 100 percent totality, making them popular destinations for travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 51ÁÔÆæ Planetarium and other campus collaborators are hosting a Solar Eclipse Viewing Party<\/a> on Monday, April 8 from 1-3 p.m. Stop by the 51ÁÔÆæ Union Ballroom and Spaights Plaza to enjoy food, music, crafts, and of course, viewing the solar eclipse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 51ÁÔÆæ College of Letters and Science generously provided the funding to purchase 10,000 solar eclipse glasses, which have been handed out at the Planetarium and other venues for people to safely see the eclipse wherever they are. Those planning to travel out of town for the eclipse (or perhaps unable to join the Planetarium on the day of the eclipse) can grab a free pair of eclipse glasses at the planetarium show \u201cPrepare for the Solar Eclipse<\/a>\u201d on Friday, April 5 from 7 \u2013 8 pm. Guided by Planetarium director Jean Creighton, this show dives into the basics of how eclipses work and what we learn from them.
