Come to the Exploratorium for an overnight party—9:00 p.m., July 31, 2008, to 6:00 a.m., August 1—and see the Total Solar Eclipse: Live from China! Our Webcast team will be in China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to capture this awe-inspiring celestial event and transmit it to us via satellite.
The Webcast is from 3:30 a.m. to 4:30 a.m., and there’ll be festivities all night long. Here are some of the things you can do:
• Walk through a yurt installation, and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of Xinjiang.
• Enjoy live folk dance, storytelling, and music performances.
• Stargaze with the San Francisco Amateur Astronomers.
• Meet scientists from NASA’s Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum.
• See films about eclipses and related phenomena.
The museum will be open from 9:00 p.m., July 31, to 6:00 a.m., August 1; admission until 4:00 a.m. only. As space is limited, we strongly encourage advance ticket purchases online or call (415) 561-0308. Find out more details about the program. |
