On March 13th, in anticipation of the upcoming Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024, the UMPO hosted a special in person "Tell Your Story” event featuring Peter Hughes from UITS. Peter took us on a journey through the history and types of eclipses, unraveling the mysteries behind these celestial phenomena.
Peter shared his personal adventure during the 2017 Eclipse, including the epic family road trip that made it unforgettable. We gained insights into what to expect during the upcoming 2024 eclipse, including tips on traffic, eye and camera safety, weather conditions, and accommodations. Thank you Peter for sharing your story!
