In anticipation of the August 21 solar eclipse, Tompkins County Public Library has announced two solar-themed programs for adults.
On
Monday, August 7 at 5:30 p.m., the
Library will host scientists from Cornell University’s Department of Astronomy
and the Cornell University Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Science for an
informative presentation exploring the science behind eclipses and tips for
safely viewing the upcoming solar event.
TCPL’s
solar programming will continue Tuesday,
August 15 at 6 p.m. with a question and answer presentation on solar power
from Gordon Woodcock of Taitem Engineering. Woodcock will share information
about the science, technology and incentives behind solar energy.
A
limited supply of free solar eclipse viewing glasses will be available at each program.
Both
programs are free and will be held in the Library’s BorgWarner Community
Room-East. Registration is appreciated but not required. To register, contact
Cady Fontana at cfontana@tcpl.org.
