Sky Observers Hangout: Get Ready for the April 2024 Total Solar Eclipse!
Join us on April 7, 2024 for this very special episode of Sky Observers Hangout, broadcast in front of a live audience from the steps of Shryock Auditorium at Southern Illinois University, as we prepare for a total solar eclipse that will cross North America on April 8. Adler’s astronomy educators, Michelle and Hunter, will ensure that you’re fully equipped to observe the eclipse yourself, but they won’t be alone! Special guests from SIU and NASA Edge will join them on-stream, so come with all your eclipse questions in the chat!
Sky Observers Hangout is a production of the Adler Planetarium—the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere! Located on Chicago’s lakeshore, the museum typically hosts more than half a million visitors each year and reaches millions more through youth STEAM programs, neighborhood skywatching events, people-powered research, and other outreach efforts. Today, the Adler is bringing our unique approach—scientific exploration rooted in community and connection—to guests from around the world who can enjoy the digital Adler from their own homes, libraries, schools or offices.
A special thank you to the Founding Donor of our public observing programs, The Petrovich Family.
