On this Family Day, there is going to be an annular solar eclipse! But what does that mean? Join us for activities and demonstrations to learn about different types of solar eclipses, what to expect, and how to view it safely.

• Demonstrations and hands-on activities
• A community art project
• Free planetarium shows at 10:30 and 11:30 am
