Learn about what creates an eclipse, the effect it has on the Earth and its inhabitants and build an “eclipse engine”.
Program will start approximately one hour before the eclipse.
The Eclipse will peak at 3:09 with 90% of the sun covered. The next solar eclipse visible in the lower 48 isn't until 2044.
