Solar Eclipse Weekend at Frost Science

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will enshroud a large swath of the United States in shadow across the path of totality. Extending from Texas in the south to Maine in the northeast, this solar eclipse is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated celestial events of the year. Though Miami isn't along the best viewing path this time around, the Magic City will see a partial eclipse starting at 1:47pm and peaking at 3:01pm, when 45% of the sun's disk will be obscured. During Solar Eclipse Weekend, Frost Science guests can learn more about the science and history of eclipses through educational activities and a special Frost Planetarium show. To prepare for eclipse viewing, guests can purchase a pair of solar eclipse glasses at the Science Store.
