The Great American Eclipses of 2023 and 2024
Discover the science and wonder of eclipses with the Frost Science Education team during this new live show.
Frost Science presents a new live Frost Planetarium program, The Great American Eclipses of 2023 and 2024. The next solar eclipses in North America will be the annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023, and the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. Our educators will explore the history of eclipses and showcase how to prepare to experience these eclipses, including where to travel to see them in their entirety.
The path of the annular solar eclipse of 2023 will cross North America from Oregon to Texas and will continue through Central and South America. In Miami, we will experience this as a partial solar eclipse starting at 11:57 a.m. on October 14, 2023, with maximum visibility at 1:33 p.m., and ending at 3:12 p.m.
The total solar eclipse of 2024—like the one that crossed the U.S. in 2017—will sweep across North America from Mazatlán to Newfoundland. This is the second total solar eclipse visible in North America this century and will be one of nature’s greatest sights. Miami will also have an opportunity to view this eclipse as a partial solar eclipse during the afternoon of April 8, 2024!
Join Frost Science for this unique, limited-run program from Monday, October 2 through Saturday, October 15 in anticipation of the next solar eclipse. The live show will be approximately 25 minutes.
