On Monday, April 8, a total solar eclipse will darken a swath of North America in the middle of the day, a cosmic event that is generating buzz, travel plans and watch parties from Maine to Mexico and beyond.
Join NHPR in the coming days for special programming related to this rare phenomenon.
Chasing the Eclipse - Saturday, April 6 at 3 p.m.
On this special episode of The Pulse from WHYY in Philadelphia, we find out why so many people call total solar eclipses a life-changing experience, and why they will go to great lengths to witness this fleeting spectacle of nature. We’ll hear what scientists are hoping to learn during this brief but important moment, and we’ll pay tribute to the celestial body that makes the eclipse possible: the moon.
Live Special Coverage of the Solar Eclipse - Monday, April 8 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
NHPR & NPR will be taking special live coverage with our partners at Here & Now in Boston beginning at 2 p.m. – capturing the wonder of eclipse viewers across the country, as well as historic and scientific takes on this rare astronomical event.
This special coverage will include live updates from NHPR’s Climate, Energy & Environment reporter Mara Hoplamazian.
