Want to learn more about the April 8 eclipse before the big day? Head to Barton Springs for the Full Moon Swim on March 25.
Dawn Davies, the Night Sky Program Manager for the Hill Country Alliance and a former board member of the Austin Astronomical Society, will share information about the upcoming celestial event, when parts of Central Texas will fall into the path of totality.
Hands-on, family friendly activities are planned for 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the pool, followed by the eclipse presentation and a Q&A from 7:30 to 8 p.m. Visitors can look at the night sky through a telescope – or bring their own binoculars and telescopes – following the presentation. Astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts will be on hand to help and free eclipse glasses will be distributed.
