Last Chance: Solar Superstorms + How to view April’s solar eclipse

April 2 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

$5

Join us for a live star show where you will learn about the science of solar eclipses and how to safely view the upcoming solar eclipse on Monday April 8. This is also your last chance to watch the planetarium film ‘Solar Superstorms’ at Wiley Planetarium and grab your eclipse glasses. Each ticket purchase comes with one pair of eclipse glasses.

Solar Superstorms: A fury is building on the surface of the Sun – high-velocity jets, a fiery tsunami wave that reaches 100,000 kilometers high, rising loops of electrified gas. What’s driving these strange phenomena? How will they affect planet Earth? Find the answers as we venture into the seething interior of our star. Solar Superstorms is a major new production that takes viewers into the tangle of magnetic fields and superhot plasma that vent the Sun’s rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the solar system: Coronal Mass Ejections. The show features one of the most intensive efforts ever made to visualize the inner workings of the sun. Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch.
