On Monday, April 8, 2024, Rochester will be in the direct path of a total solar eclipse for the first time in almost a century. A total solar eclipse occurs when a portion of the Earth is engulfed in a shadow cast by the Moon which fully blocks sunlight.

Join us as Dan Schneiderman, the Eclipse Partnership Coordinator at the RMSC (Rochester Museum & Science Center), discusses the science and history of solar eclipses, the impact the eclipse will have on our region, and how to prepare for this extraordinary astronomical opportunity.
