Cernan Space Center Special Events

Partial Solar Eclipse Watch

Cernan Eclipse Day Event Schedule

从芝加哥看到，在最大日食时，只有93%的太阳圆盘会被月球遮挡. 访问我们的日食资源页面获取视频和详细地图，了解为什么我们希望每个人都能在全食的路径上看到100%的日食.

TOTALITY is just a couple hours drive away: Cleveland, Indianapolis, and Carbondale, 但据预测，德克萨斯州最有可能出现晴朗的天空. 此外，2024年将是2045年之前最后一次席卷美国的日全食.

But, isn't a 93% partial solar eclipse good enough?

Absolutely not! 看日偏食和看日全食的区别就像看烧烤的图片和闻和品尝大师的艺术杰作的区别一样. mmmmmmmm. BBQ.

If you can't make it to totality, 德国地球和空间中心将举办日食观测，以安全的太阳观测为特色, ECLIPSE: the Sun Revealed in the Planetarium, Dark Side of the Moon Cosmic Light Shows, and other activities.

Now we just need clear skies.
