Where will you be during the October 14th solar eclipse? If clouds don’t mar the experience, we hope you’ll find a sunny spot, with the proper eye protection or a colander<\/a> in hand. And while only 30 percent of the sun will be covered at the 1:18 p.m. peak, it should still be a neat experience. <\/p>\n

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, or you wish to learn more about solar eclipses in a unique environment, head to the Rock Creek Nature Center and Planetarium at 5200 Glover Road. The planetarium is showing a 30-minute film<\/a> on the historical, cultural and scientific phenomena at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., noon, 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. that day. (The 2 p.m. show is on the seasonal night sky<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The tickets are free, and first come, first served. They are distributed 15 minutes before showtime. <\/p>\n

The Rock Creek Nature Center planetarium is the only one in the National Parks system. It reopened last January<\/a> after a long pandemic-related, then equipment-related shutdown. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
