Program Description

Event Details

You're invited to join meteorologist and associate astronomer, Joe Rao, for an exploration of one of the night sky's most unique wonders; a lunar eclipse. On Sunday night, May 15th, a Total Eclipse of the Moon will take place. Here in the Northeast US, we will have ringside seats for this event, as the total phase of this eclipse will occur well up in the southern sky during the late evening hours. In this presentation we’ll provide all the details on how to best prepare for this remarkable celestial sight, as well as talk about other important eclipse events that will occur in the near future. Mr. Rao served as the Chief Meteorologist and Science Editor for News 12 Westchester and Hudson Valley for over 20 years. Since 1986 he has also served as an associate astronomer and guest lecturer at New York’s famous Rose Center for Earth and Space/Hayden Planetarium.  (Sponsored by the Friends of the Library)
