SUMMARY:The April 8th Total Solar Eclipse: When\, Where and How to See It!
DESCRIPTION:On April 8\, 2024 New York State will experience a total solar 
 eclipse! Regions in the Western and Northern part of the state will 
 experience totality\, while other regions will get to see a partial solar 
 eclipse. With proper eye protection\, you can watch the moon cross in front 
 of the sun and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. In this lesson\, 
 I’ll 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. I’ll 
 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. \n\n\n\nDr. Valerie Rapson is an Astronomer and public 
 outreach enthusiast who enjoys teaching people of all ages about science. 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. She also 
 enjoys giving public talks\, visiting K-12 schools to teach astronomy\, and 
 participates in WAMC's Vox Pop radio show with Astronomer Bob 
 Berman.\n\n\n\nAt SUNY Oneonta\, Dr. Rapson teaches a variety of physics 
 and astronomy courses. She also conducts exoplanet research with students 
 utilizing telescopes at the College Camp Observatory\, and designs and 
 presents planetarium shows.\n\n\n\nPrior to joining the faculty at 
 Oneonta\, Dr. Rapson was the director of the Dudley Observatory in Albany\, 
 NY. There\, she designed and taught astronomy education programs for 
 children and adults\, operated the Suites-Bueche planetarium\, and oversaw 
 the construction of roll-top roof observatory with a 14inch telescope. She 
 is a National Astronomy Ambassador and was awarded the 2018 Emerging Leader 
 Award by Girls Inc. of the Greater Capital Region for being a role model to 
 young women who aspire to become scientists.
