Miami’s Frost Science Museum, renowned for its planetarium, was the focal point on Monday as the Great North American Eclipse graced North America. Although South Florida only experienced a partial solar eclipse, visitors to the museum were treated to an array of programs and experiences to comprehend the science behind this celestial event. From observing the eclipse through pinhole cameras to exploring the planetarium, patrons had the chance to witness this exceptional phenomenon firsthand.
Jayme Eglin and her sons Eli and Archer were among those who attended the event at the museum, utilizing pinhole cameras to safely view the eclipse. Families like the Victoriano family and friends like Malena Contreras and Claudia Herman gathered on the museum’s plaza to witness the eclipse, taking in its awe-inspiring sight as the moon partially concealed the sun, creating a mesmerizing spectacle in the sky.
The partial solar eclipse reached around 40% visibility from Miami, providing attendees with a unique and unforgettable experience. For those who may have missed out on seeing the total solar eclipse, The Frost Science Museum presented a wonderful opportunity to observe and understand this natural wonder through educational programs and interactive displays.
