Get Ready for the Celestial Event of the Century
On August 21, 2017, the shadow of the moon will sweep across the United States in a spectacle that hasn't occurred in 99 years. The Space Science Institute (SSI) was
awarded a grant that will provide 1.26 million solar viewing glasses and other resources for 1,500 public libraries across the nation. Your library could be a center for eclipse education and viewing for your community.
Register your library with the National Center for Interactive Learning (NCIL) at the Space Science Institute. Once you’re registered, you’ll have access to NCIL resources to help you plan and promote your eclipse event. Learn more by attending a
webinar on Wednesday, January 25, at 3 p.m. EST or visit the
NCIL website for more information. Note: Although the webinar does not require registration, it will be available only on a first-come, first-served basis, so you are encouraged to sign
in at least a half an hour early. If the room is full, you can access a full recording on the
STAR_Net website on January 26.
