Join us in the Lohman Planetarium for a day of solar observing! While Florida is not in the direct path of totality of the annular solar eclipse, we will still be able to view a 50% covered Sun. Weather permitting, we will safely peer at the Sun with a specially modified telescope in the MOAS Courtyard, while the Sun will feature as the star of the planetarium shows for the day.

11:52am: Start of eclipse

1:25pm: Maximum eclipse (50% coverage visible from Florida)

3:01pm: End of eclipse

Outdoor telescope viewing is free for the public. Lohman Planetarium shows are free for members or included with the price of museum admission.
