Upcoming Solar Eclipses – The Sky Tonight
It’s the first week of the month. You know what that means… it’s time for The Sky Tonight!
The Sky Tonight
The Sky Tonight is held the first Wednesday night of every month. Every month we take a tour of the night sky, and then we focus on a specific topic. This month’s show on September 6 will prepare the audience for upcoming solar eclipses.
What will you see?
We have the ability to predict when solar eclipses will occur and when they can be seen. There will be a total solar eclipse visible from North America in April 2024, but for those of us in San Diego, the annular eclipse in October 2023 will be a much better view. Learn why at this month’s show!
If you’re interested, you can get ticket info (the price also includes admission to the museum) here.
The wonderful folks from the San Diego Astronomy Association set up their telescopes (weather permitting), so you have a chance to do some astronomical observing after the shows. Under the dome, we never have to worry about the weather.
The Fleet Science Center posted their virtual events from the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, including several of our Sky Tonight shows. Check them out here. Imagine how much better they are with the beautiful sky displayed on a 76-foot wraparound screen above you!
Hopefully we’ll see you soon at The Sky Tonight.
Wishing you clear skies!
