Learn about the fascinating contributions of Jesuit astronomers and our institution’s historical involvement in the study of the cosmos.
At 3 pm, Dr. Narita from the Physics Department will provide an overview of the earth-moon-sun alignment, as well as discuss the parts of the sun that are visible. Professor Narita’s talk will lead us into the height of the solar display, around 3:30 pm.
We will provide attendees with eclipse viewing glasses for a safe, firsthand experience of this rare phenomenon. We will also provide delicious moon-themed snacks. Drop-in anytime to experience the fun!
