5:30 to 10PM
Join us for our next Science at Sunset series and explore the fascinating astrophysics that make eclipses possible and the amazing ways the NSF observes eclipses from aircraft.
10AM to 2PM
Look out for solar telescopes and activities on the UA Mall and feel free to take a break inside Flandrau (from 10AM to 2PM) for science exhibits or a planetarium show about eclipses for $5.
Buy Solar Viewing Glasses at Flandrau! Only $2!
Certified solar viewing glasses (with a fun Flandrau design and logo!) are available at Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium right now and during the eclipse event for $2. Proceeds support Tucson's only science center and planetarium. Please purchase at our location Tuesday-Sunday between 10AM and 5PM. Free, 10-minute pick-up parking spaces are available in our north parking lot.
Do you need to buy a large number of glasses for your class or group? Flandrau has bulk pricing of $1 each when you buy 20 or more.
TIP: During the eclipse event and depending on demand, an additional cash-only line may form and is typically faster than card payments for solar glasses.
Safety info: Flandrau solar viewing glasses are ISO certified and "conform to and meet the Transmission Requirements of ISO 12312-2, Filters for Direct Observation of the Sun."
