Join us at the Jesup to prepare for the upcoming solar eclipse! The program will describe the 2017 Partial Solar Eclipse, last fall’s October 14th Annular Eclipse, the upcoming April 8th 2024 Total Solar Eclipse in Maine, and as a bonus, a reprise of the 1963 Total Solar Eclipse whose path was directly over Mt. Desert Island. Tips for safely observing the upcoming April 8th eclipse will also be discussed.

An avid amateur astronomer, Mr. Lanpher travels throughout New England and eastern Canada attending astronomy meetings as liaison for clubs in Maine, New Hampshire and a few in Massachusetts and observing at their star parties when the opportunity avails. He will either be in Houlton, ME or Lac Mégantic, Quebec on April 8th. Professionally, Mr. Lanpher works as a Professional Electrical Engineer.

This event is in-person only and will not be recorded.
