Preparing for the Eclipse

NASA Solar System Ambassador Linda Gauthier will visit LASM this day to talk about the August 21 solar eclipse and share ways to view it safely (remember what mother said: do not look right at the sun), either from Baton Rouge or from locations in the path of totality. At 2 pm, visit the planetarium to see a featurette on the Great American Solar Eclipse of 2017, followed by the program Earth, Moon & Sun, to learn more about the relationships among these celestial bodies. Small children can come enjoy  story time and activity with our planetarium educators based on children's book Moon Bear’s Shadow. 1:30 pm—3 pm. lasm.org.
