Live Virtual Eclipse Presentation for
NASA@ My Library Communities
On April 7, the Festus Public Library (Festus, MO), Monmouth Public Library (Monmouth, OR), and Valley of the Tetons Library (Driggs, ID) hosted public programs to view a virtual presentation by Lou Mayo, Program Manager of the Heliophysics Education Consortium, in collaboration with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Distance Learning Network Team. Patrons were able to view a presentation with eclipse watching tips and resources, then ask questions of the presenter. Kathy Condon-Boettcher, Director of the Festus Public Library, reported how the presentation sparked ongoing discussions: " ...our group spoke a little bit more about the eclipse and we talked about when to put glasses on, when to take them off, timing of the event, length of totality, etc. It was a good discussion and everyone left happy." Congratulations on a successful event!
Would you like to share Lou's presentation at your own library? View the archived presentation as part of a program or share the link with others in your networks. The presentation provides information about NASA's studies of the Sun, what will be visible during the solar eclipse, and NASA's safe viewing resources.
