Preparing for the Eclipse on Nantucket: A Presentation and Workshop

Join the MMA for a free and informational presentation about the upcoming solar eclipse, followed by a hands-on workshop during which participants will make their very own pinhole camera to use to safely observe the April 8 solar eclipse!

During the presentation we will discuss eclipses, explain why they happen, answer your questions, and provide information about how to view the April 8 solar eclipse safely.

The presentation will take place from 2pm-2:30pm at the MMA Research Center and will be followed by the pinhole camera making workshop, from 2:30pm-4pm at the Hinchman House Natural Science Museum. Attend either of both events.

We will hand out solar eclipse glasses during this workshop. If you plan to attend the pinhole camera making workshop, please bring a shoebox or cereal box along with you (one for each participant that would like to make a pinhole camera).
