Exploring the Solar Eclipse at the Museum of Natural Science, Sugar Land, Texas.


On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America was treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality could see one of nature’s most awe inspiring sights - a total solar eclipse. 

This path, where the moon completely covered the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere - the corona - was seen and stretched from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. Observers outside this path still saw a partial solar eclipse where the moon covers part of the sun's disk. Even though, Texas only got a partial solar eclipse, it was a great educational and fun experience!
