Astronomy for Adults participants learn to be experts on the sky. Each program lasts about an hour, divided between a rich audio-visual presentation and a tour of current stars, planets, and constellations using the Planetarium's giant star projector. Regular presenters are Steve Fentress, director, Strasenburgh Planetarium, RMSC and Paul Krupinski, planetarium show presenter and proprietor of the Buffalo-based Mobile Dome Planetarium. Sessions blend science, the arts and history for an intellectually stimulating experience. The classes take place on select Wednesdays at 2 p.m.

March 28 at 2pm – Preview of the 2024 Solar Eclipse: What To Do Now
Have you picked your viewing spot for the next total solar eclipse in North America, April 8, 2024? This time, Rochester will be in the path of totality. People who saw the August 2017 eclipse from places such as Oregon and Tennessee will tell you that a total eclipse is completely different from a partial eclipse like the one we had in Rochester. We’ll examine the 2024 path and timing, and look back at what we can learn from last year’s eclipse.
