NASA also partners with local libraries to host eclipse events. This could be a wonderful way to grow or start a new collaboration in your community.


You can find information about How to View a Solar Eclipse Safely and Suppliers of Safe Solar Filters & Viewers from the American Astronomical Society.


The National Informal STEM Education Network (NISE Network) also has a variety of materials and resources for training, promotion, community collaborations, and youth activities for the eclipse.


The Exploratorium has free mobile app that incorporates their eclipse livestreaming programs and many other eclipse adventures, including those that feature solar eclipses from the Navajo worldview.


You can connect with Zoe Learner Ponterio, Outreach Coordinator, at Cornell's Spacecraft Planetary Image Facility (SPIF) and overall champion of 4-H. Among the other wonderful resources available at SPIF, Zoe has an eclipse workshop that she would lead for youth and adults. This workshop could be in-person if you're located in central New York and could also be held virtually. Contact Zoe to learn more.

Land Acknowledgement

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' people, past and present, to these lands and waters.

This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' leadership. Learn more
