Prepare to be Eclipsed During this Solar Celebration.
Join Frost Science for an exciting day of activities throughout the museum and on the Science Plaza to celebrate the solar eclipse on Saturday, October 14, 2023. Guests can enjoy hands-on space-themed activities, live science shows and demonstrations, and a unique Frost Planetarium show that delves into the science and history of eclipses. They will also be able to marvel at the annular solar eclipse using their solar telescopes, solar viewers, or a personal pair of solar eclipse glasses, available for purchase online in advance or in the Science Store.
October’s eclipse is an annular eclipse, which occurs when the Moon is a bit further away from the Earth than in a total solar eclipse. This means the Moon will not fully cover the disk of the Sun, leaving a ring of light around the Moon even when the two are fully aligned. It will be a beautiful sight! Here in Miami the eclipse will begin at 11:57 a.m. and reach its maximum coverage of 58% of the Sun at 1:34 p.m. The eclipse will end at 3:12 p.m.
The celebration is included in the price of museum admission. Special programming will take place from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. For $70.00 for adults and youth (ages 4-11), guests can upgrade to a premium experience that includes exclusive viewing access for the Solar Eclipse Celebration, a private Frost Planetarium show at 11:00 am., special educational programming and exclusive Level 6 rooftop event access. Each ticket comes with a gift bag containing a pair of ISO-certified solar glasses and other goodies.
