Event Date and Time
-

Get ready for the most widely anticipated astronomical event of the century! On Monday afternoon, August 21, 2017, all of North Carolina will experience a partial solar eclipse. The Moon’s shadow will cross the continental U.S. for the first time since 1979. A sliver of the western part of the state will experience the total solar eclipse for nearly two and a half minutes. NCCAT’s Cullowhee campus is in the path of totality and is the perfect spot for viewing the phenomenon. Join us for a once in a lifetime program exploring some of the biggest misconceptions in astronomy and culminating with the experience of a total solar eclipse.
