Ready for the Celestial Event of the Century?
In just over a year from now, on August 21, 2017, the shadow of the moon will sweep across the United States from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean in a spectacle that hasn't occurred in decades. In fact, the last total solar eclipse for the United States was nearly 40 years ago, and the next total eclipse that will be visible in the continental United States will be in 2024. The STAR_Net team wants to work with your library and thousands of others to participate in this national event. So jump on the eclipse train!
