From the organizer:
Join a park ranger this April as the skies go dark at mid-day during a Total Eclipse (90% coverage in our area).
Texas is in the path of an amazing solar phenomenon this April. Join a Park Ranger as the skies go dark at mid-day during a Total Eclipse (our area will experience ~90% coverage). Learn about the astronomy behind eclipses and how they affect the local wildlife. See the sun up close through a telescope as the moon slowly blocks its light. Learn multiple ways to view an eclipse indirectly in a safe manner.
