Frost Science will invite guests to celebrate the solar eclipse on April 8, featuring special programming in the Frost Planetarium and across the museum about the science and history of eclipses, from noon to 4 p.m.

In Miami, the eclipse will be visible as a partial solar eclipse, with only part of the Sun’s disk obscured during the peak. The eclipse will begin at 1:47 p.m., and reach its maximum coverage of 45 percent of the Sun at 3:01 p.m. The eclipse will end at 4:13 p.m. April’s eclipse is a total solar eclipse, which occurs when the Moon is the right distance away from the Earth to completely obscure our view of the Sun.

Guests can marvel at the partial solar eclipse from one of six museum levels, while using solar viewers which are available for purchase online or in the Frost Science Store. During this time, the museum’s rooftop will be limited to active Frost Science members only, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Guests can purchase tickets frostscience.org.
