2017 Solar Eclipse Tour

Posted by admin on April 26, 2017
Posted in: Public Outreach. Tagged: solar eclipse.

On the morning of August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will be visible across the continental United States. The Moon’s shadow will also pass through Idaho, and visitors from all around the world will flock to our state.

Boise State has partnered with local libraries, astronomy clubs, and science museums to organize outreach events all over the state throughout 2017. With these partners, Boise State will host public presentations about the eclipse and provide eclipse shades for safe viewing.

You can find more information about the eclipse in Idaho at the Physics Dept’s website.

The calendar below shows the planned visits across Idaho. If you have questions, contact Prof. Brian Jackson (bjackson@boisestate.edu).

This outreach effort is supported by a grant from the Idaho STEM Action Center and by donations from the Boise State community.
