Featuring: The Great American Eclipse
by Dr. Whitney B. Gaskins!

The next total solar eclipse to visit North America will be April 8, 2024. The duration of totality will be up to 4 minutes and 27 seconds, almost double that of The Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017. The 2017 total solar eclipse was witnessed by about 20 million people from Oregon to South Carolina, and the upcoming 2024 Great American Eclipse is sure to be witnessed by many millions more.

According to National Eclipse, Ohio residents can first see the moon overtake the sun at 1:53 p.m. before it fully reappears at 4:30 p.m. The eclipse totality will last from 3:08 to 3:19 p.m. as it cuts a swath from southwest to northeast Ohio.

Get ready as we build Pinhole Projectors from our very own mailers through a process known as deconstruction! Similar to what scientists did for the Apollo 13 mission to bring astronauts home safely from their attempt to land on the moon, an object will be transformed!
