An out-of-this-world day awaits you on Saturday, October 14, as Frost Science celebrates the annular solar eclipse. Join us throughout the museum and on the Science Plaza for some stellar programming including safe solar telescope viewing, hands-on space-themed activities, live science shows, and a unique Frost Planetarium show that delves into the science and history of eclipses.
The October 14 eclipse is an annular eclipse, which occurs when the Moon does not fully cover the disk of the Sun, leaving a ring of light around the Moon at the height of the eclipse. In Miami, the eclipse will begin at 11:57 a.m. and reach its maximum coverage of 58% of the Sun at 1:34 p.m. The eclipse will end at 3:12 p.m.
During this time, you can safely marvel at the annular solar eclipse using our solar telescopes, solar viewers, or your own pair of solar eclipse glasses,* available for purchase online in advance or at the Science Store.
