On April 8, Hancock County will be in the path of a total solar eclipse. In Hancock Park District’s indoor planetarium program, they will focus on a solar eclipse: what it is, why it happens, different types, and how often they occur.

You can view what will happen during the eclipse and learn about other astronomical objects that may be seen during the eclipse. Afterward, you can preview other things to look for during the month of April. Each participant will receive solar eclipse glasses, a pin hole viewer card, and an April sky map.

Registration is required by Monday, April 1.  This is a free event, all ages are welcome.  Participants are required to sit on the floor. Ask about accommodations.
