Part of the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium's Sun+Moon+YOU event.

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. A total solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and earth, completely blocking the face of the sun. See the sun’s corona while you stand in the shadow of the moon during this incredible celestial event. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk.


The eclipse will occur between 3:20-3:30 p.m. with the totality estimated at 3:29 p.m. Join us on Main Street in front of the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium for family-friendly activities beginning at noon:

  • Create eclipse chalk art.


  • Free solar eclipse glasses (while supplies last).



  • From 3-4 p.m. join the audience of our live broadcast with But Why host and executive producer, Jane Lindholm and astronomy expert Mark Breen from the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium. They will guide us through the total solar eclipse and share commentary drawing on history, science, and the astonishing experience of being in the path of totality!


  • The Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium is offering a limited number of tickets for their planetarium presentations that are available for advance purchase. They are also reserving tickets for every planetarium show that can be purchased at the door on April 8th, begining at 10 a.m. Click here to purchase planetarium tickets.


Made possible with support from Vermont Construction Company and Norwich Solar.
