We’re excited to welcome Dr. Alain J. Brizard, PhD in Astrophysical Sciences, 1990, Princeton University, on April 7, the eve of the highly anticipated 2024 total solar eclipse. He’ll discuss a bit about the science and history behind what our guests will witness the following afternoon, as Burlington falls on the eclipse’s path of totality. 

RSVP required! You can do so here. 
Unfortunately, we have reached capacity for All About Eclipses with an Astrophysicist. But don’t worry – there’s no shortage of things to do in Burlington during Eclipse weekend. Explore more here.
