February 13 Science on Tap: Science in the Shadow Eclipse 2024
A total solar eclipse is a time when all observers are immediately aware that we are part of a solar system. It is a fleeting experience that both scientists and artists try to capture.
MANCHESTER, NH – The SEE Science Center is holding a Science on Tap discussion on February 13. Science on Tap events are informal discussions with local scientists and experts on a particular topic. 2023-2024 is the eleventh season of Science on Tap and is sponsored by Cambridge Trust.
On Tuesday February 13 the topic will be: Science in the Shadow Eclipse 2024. A total solar eclipse is a time when all observers are immediately aware that we are part of a solar system. It is a fleeting experience that both scientists and artists try to capture. Join us to discuss how researchers and artists are working together to study and convey the data and experience of the upcoming solar eclipse. Ask about what has been learned from prior eclipses and what questions are being asked ahead of April 8.
Our panelists will include: Emily Roy, Art and Design, Psychology double major, 2024 Plymouth State University; Genevieve Picciano, Applied Meteorology M.S. student, 2024 Plymouth State University; Erin Sweeney, PSU Art professor of practice, Plymouth State University; and Griffin Spinney, Climate Studies major, 2024, Plymouth State University.
