Eclipse! On Monday August 21, 2017, the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun, treating the National Capital Region to a partial solar eclipse. This is a rare natural phenomenon and, with help from members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, you can safely witness this event through solar-scopes and Sun-viewers. Meet these passionate astronomical experts and astrophysicist Jesse Rogerson to learn more about the physics of the solar system. Construct your own pinhole camera, which you can then use to observe the Sun.
Telescopes will be set up from noon to 4 p.m., with the eclipse itself occurring from 1:17-3:48 p.m.
