Join us at the American Philosophical Society Museum for our family program, “Shoot for the Stars Eclipse Edition!” APS Education staff will be handing out eclipse viewing glasses* and celebrating the eclipse itself with some space related activities. We will also be demonstrating a LightSound device which provides an audible experience of the eclipse.  

The program will take place in the APS Jefferson Garden from 1:30 P.M.-4:00 P.M. and is free and open to the public. In the case of rain, the event will take place in the APS' Franklin Hall 427 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
