Did you miss The Adventures of An Eclipse Chaser, our program with meteorologist Joe Rao, earlier this week? Watch a replay now on our YouTube channel!


Meteorologist Joe Rao will join us (via Zoom) on Tuesday, August 1, at 7:00 PM, for The Adventures of An Eclipse Chaser. Over the last 50 years, Joe has chased 13 eclipses around the globe… by land, sea, and air. He’ll share his experiences witnessing this unique phenomenon during this online program.

To witness a total eclipse of the sun is an experience that few people experience. Once seen, however, it is a phenomenon never to be forgotten. The incredible panoply of phenomena that occur when the Sun becomes completely covered by the Moon: the radiance of the pearly corona of the Sun; the scarlet tongues of hydrogen gas rising from the surface to heights of many thousands of miles; the unaccustomed presence of the brighter stars and planets in the daytime; and the darkness of twilight and sudden fall of temperature.

On April 8, 2024, those who live in the Northeast US and New England will have an eclipse delivered to their doors. Why not starting preparing now?

If you’d like to attend The Adeventures of An Eclipse Chaser, please register with your email address now through our Event Calendar. Participants will receive an email with the login information for Zoom before the program begins.
