Frost Science, Miami’s leading-edge science museum, invites guests to celebrate the Partial Solar Eclipse on Monday, April 8 at 12:00 p.m. With special programming in the Frost Planetarium and across the museum to learn about the science and history of eclipses.

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. It will be a beautiful sight! Here 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% of the Sun at 3:01 p.m. The eclipse will end at 4:13 p.m.

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 access will be limited to active Frost Science members only, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
