SUMMARY:Solar Big Year—2024 Eclipse Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Bell for a special open Monday to celebrate Minnesota’s partial view of the eclipse on Monday\, April 8\, 10am-4pm. The eclipse will be at its peak at about 2:00 pm\, and we’ll see about 75% coverage here in Minnesota. Throughout the day\, we’ll have a plethora of solar focused activities\, a livestream of the eclipse\, a new eclipse flipbook pattern\, and expert astronomy staff to answer all of your solar questions! \nPlease note: we’re unable to control the clouds — if the weather is poor on the day of the eclipse\, we’ll still have a day of sun-focused activities! \nPlease be aware that we expect large crowds. All children under 18 must be properly supervised.
