SUMMARY:2017 Solar Eclipse
DESCRIPTION:Visit Our Event Campaign Page\n  \nThe Celestial Event of the Century\nOn August 21\, 2017\, a spectacular total eclipse of the Sun was visible across the continental U.S. for the first time since 1918. Every state had at least 65% of the Sun covered by the Moon\, and lucky people on a narrow path from Oregon to South Carolina saw the stunning beauty of totality that they will remember all their lives. \nBy the Numbers\nIt is estimated that the STAR Net Library Eclipse Project allowed 6 million people to observe the event safely. Participating libraries were estimated to have conducted around 35\,000 science programs before and during the eclipse\, reaching approximately 1\,750\,000 people.

SUMMARY:Safe Eclipse Viewing
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nSafe Eclipse Viewing\nJoin NCIL Staff and Doug Duncan\, Director of the Fiske Planetarium at UC Boulder\, to learn about ways to safely view the 2017 Great American Eclipse. \nNote: Please be advised that there is a very small amount of adult language in one of the videos shared during the webinar (at the 34:00 mark). The language is from the reaction of people viewing a total eclipse for the first time. While it is important to show their genuine reaction to this amazing event\, the language may not be suitable for children.

SUMMARY:Celebrate Earth Day with NASA’s GLOBE Observer
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nCelebrate Earth Day with NASA’s GLOBE Observer\nLearn how your library can celebrate our planet on Earth Day and beyond through NASA’s GLOBE Observer (GO) citizen science project.  Library patrons can contribute to NASA Earth science by downloading the free GO app\, observing the sky\, and contributing their observations to this international program.  GO cloud observations are helping NASA scientists understand clouds from below (the ground) and above (from space). Clouds play an important role in transferring energy from the Sun to different parts of the Earth system. Because clouds can change rapidly\, scientists need frequent observations from citizen scientists. \nIn this interactive webinar\, library staff will meet with a NASA scientist\, Jessica Taylor\, and educators\, Sarah McCrea and Dorian Janney\, to learn: \n\nWhy observing clouds and sky conditions is important to NASA\nHow NASA’s GLOBE Observer citizen science observations contribute to NASA science\nHow to do sky observations with the easy-to-use GLOBE Observer app: identify satellite overpass times\, photograph clouds\, record sky observations and compare them with NASA satellite images\nWhat resources are available to support library programming on Earth Day 2017 and beyond

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.
