with Professor Jay Pasachoff of Williams College<\/p>\n

A veteran eclipse chaser, Professor Pasachoff has probably seen and studied more total solar eclipses than anyone else on Earth.\u00a0\u00a0By one count, he has witnessed 65 total eclipses between 1959 and the end of 2015.\u00a0\u00a0He recently went on an expedition to study the eclipse that took place in Indonesia on March 9.<\/p>\n

During his talk, Professor Pasachoff will tell us about his experience at this March 9 event.\u00a0\u00a0He will also discuss the circumstances of and his expectations for the total solar eclipse that will be visible along a narrow band that crosses the United States on August 21, 2017.\u00a0\u00a0And among other topics, he will describe to us the importance of the science that he obtains by studying eclipses in this traditional manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
