Astronomer Valerie Rapson will provide all the details of when, where, and how to watch the solar eclipse, and what you can expect to see if you are in totality. She will also discuss some of the fascinating solar science that NASA plans to accomplish during the eclipse with help from Citizen Scientists all across the United States.

A native of Rochester, NY, she earned her Ph.D. in Astrophysical Sciences and Technology at RIT where her research focused on the chemical composition and structure of planet-forming disks around nearby young stars. Her research interests include star and planet formation, exoplanets, and projects that can be done with small telescopes.
