Sun, Moon, and You – Dallas, Texas
On April 8, the moon will pass directly between the sun and Earth, aligning perfectly to produce a total solar eclipse! When this occurs, the moon casts a shadow along a portion of the Earth’s surface, and Dallas is right in this path of totality!

This event will feature special guest, Neil deGrasse Tyson, along with PBS series Ready, Jet, Go!™ Additional experts from NOAA, NSF, and NASA will talk about the eclipse, space weather, and why we study the sun.
