The Great American Eclipse

If you don’t want to stand outside or weather doesn’t allow you to see the solar eclipse, you can watch from the comfort of the Daily Planet Theater! NC Museum of Natural Sciences astrophysicist Dr. Rachel Smith will join them by video call from the path of totality in Sylva, North Carolina. The view of the eclipse in Raleigh will reach 93% of total Sun coverage – still a sight to behold. But their live video link inside the Daily Planet Theater will give Museum visitors the opportunity to see the Moon cover 100% of the Sun. The Museum link-up will begin at 2:00pm with the full eclipse occurring at 2:32pm (coverage ends at 3pm).
