SUMMARY:Is Your Library Ready for the Astronomical Event of the Decade?
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nIs Your Library Ready for the Astronomical Event of the Decade?\nOn August 21\, 2017\, we will be treated to the first total eclipse of the Sun visible in the continental U.S. in almost 40 years. The spectacular total eclipse will only be visible in a narrow band about 60 miles across\, stretching diagonally across the country from a beach in Oregon to a beach in South Carolina. However\, everyone in North America will see a partial solar eclipse\, where a big “bite” will be taken out of the Sun. \nThis will be the first major U.S. eclipse of the Internet age\, and most people will need clear reliable information on when and how to observe the eclipse of the Sun safely. Astronomers are hoping libraries will play a key role in getting this information out to their communities. Working with astronomy groups in their communities\, they could also be a central place for safe observing. \nGet an early start in preparing for this eclipse\, how to explain it\, how to observe it safely\, and what role libraries can play in organizing and informing their communities. \nJoin us for a 45 minute webinar where you’ll get great information about the eclipse\, and be able to ask questions about the role your library can play. Hosts: Dennis Schatz (NSTA\, Pacific Science Center)\, and Andrew Fraknoi (Foothill College; co-author of a new book on eclipse education). Click here for an Eclipse FAQ sheet.
