After your darkest hour, the Sun will shine again… Every so often, in the middle of the day when the Sun is bright and the air is warm, a dark shadow passes over the Earth, the temperature drops, stars and planets become visible, and the Sun appears to disappear. The event? A total Solar Eclipse. In this show, we will discover what happens during Solar and Lunar eclipses, observe planetary transits, and discuss the astronomical explanation for the question: “What happened to the Sun?”


All ticket sales are final.


A note that this show is not specifically designed for kids – if you are interested in a show designed for a younger audience, please consider our Introductory Astronomy for Kids options (typically on the first Wednesday or the third Saturday of each month).
