Upcoming event
April 8, 2024 : Total Solar Eclipse at Your Ballpark
Solar eclipses are a great way to bring space science to the ballpark through hands-on activities, demonstrations, and other interactive elements. Parts of the United States will experience a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, and partial solar eclipses will be visible across the entire contiguous United States and almost all of North America. We invite you to join us as we celebrate this celestial event!
