If you'll be on the Outer Cape during the solar eclipse on Monday, August 21, join Cape Cod National Seashore rangers for a special eclipse program at the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham from 1:30 to 4:00 pm.
The free program will begin with a live feed projection of the eclipse as it passes across the US. Track the eclipse along the path of totality, and see what a total solar eclipse looks like. There will be children’s activities and information on what an eclipse is and how it occurs. At 2:30, head outside to view the 2:48 pm 60% eclipse. Certified eclipse viewing glasses and pinhole projectors will be provided for safe viewing. Following the eclipse, write a note or draw a picture to include in a time capsule that will be opened during the next full solar eclipse in April 2024.
