Tonight … Science On Tap: Preparing For The Eclipse
LA CREATIVE DISTRICT News:
A full solar eclipse will pass over much of the United States Friday. It’s a rare opportunity indeed. Join us tonight at Science On Tap, at 5:30 p.m. at UnQuarked in Los Alamos to prepare!

It is only during a total solar eclipse that such investigation is possible.
