A solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024 – and Science Central will be near the path of totality! Will you?
Using Science On a Sphere, our educators will lead your students through the science, cultural and historical impact, and how to stay safe during the natural phenomena.
Science On a Sphere® (SOS) is a room sized, global display system that uses computer and video projectors to display planetary data onto a six foot diameter sphere, analogous to a giant animated globe.
