When

April 8, 2024. 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Have you ever seen a solar eclipse? Be ready to view our partial solar eclipse. Because this eclipse is partial (about 80-90% coverage) eye protection is required to see it. Join us for a fun and useful craft as we make pinhole viewers and box viewers to witness this astronomical event. Everyone will be able to make a pinhole viewer, but those wanting a box viewer will need to bring your own large cardboard box or mailing tube.
