Description:
Solar eclipses are common occurrences, and yet very few people experience them. Here in North America, two upcoming solar eclipses will cross our country within the next year: an annular solar eclipse on October 14th and a total solar eclipse on April 8th. Eclipses Crossing America will shed light on the myths and science behind eclipses and what to expect on these dates based on your location. This original piece features high school student narrators and music composers.
Produced by the Jenks Public Schools Planetarium.
