Eclipses are one of our planet’s most awe-inspiring observable moments.

Join Museum astrophysicist Jackie Faherty as she leads us through a tour of eclipses from all angles and from the best views, in celebration of the last eclipse of 2020, which takes place on December 14 and will be visible from Chile. New York City high school science teacher Deion Desir, an alum of the Museum’s Master of Arts in Teaching Earth Science program, pilots our journey from Earth and through our solar neighborhood, revealing the many secrets of the eclipse as we go.

Watch a recording of the livestream below, first aired on December 4, 2020. Or check out the complete playlist of Astronomy Online events.

In 2020, the Museum is celebrating the legacy of Charles Hayden, whose vision made the Hayden Planetarium possible and brought the universe to New York City.
