On the evening of August 1, Francine Jackson, astronomer, will give a talk on the upcoming solar eclipse.
For the first time in almost a century, a total eclipse of the sun will be visible across a wide path across North America on August 21, 2017. We will be experiencing a partial eclipse in Rhode Island. Learn all about it with Francine Jackson, NASA Solar System Ambassador, staff astronomer at Ladd Observatory, and Skyscrapers, Inc., public relations person. This event is free and all are welcome.
If it is a clear night, you could extend your astronomical evening by visiting Ladd Observatory at Brown University. They are open to the public free of charge from 9:00 p.m.-10:30 p.m. on Tuesday evenings, weather permitting.
