去年10月, 圣澳门金沙赌城线上游戏 invited its campus and local community to experience the annular solar eclipse with a series of eclipse-related 事件 dubbed Space Week. 从4月2日至8日，大学是 完全 ready to host another Space Week for the total solar eclipse on April 8, which will pass directly through Texas.
While during the annular solar eclipse, we could see a bright “ring of fire” around the Moon, 在日全食期间, the Moon will completely block the face of the sun, resulting in the sky appearing dark as if it were dawn or dusk. A total solar eclipse won’t be visible from the contiguous United States again until 2044.
为了纪念这种罕见的现象, 澳门金沙线上赌博官网将为学生, 教师, 工作人员, and its local community with an educational and space-focused lineup that honors the human-space relationship.
Space Week will kick off on April 2 with a panel discussion between 吉姆Perschbach, 圣安东尼奥港的首席执行官, 还有山姆·西门尼斯, 宇航港空间技术公司的首席执行官, about "圣安东尼奥’s Global Role Harnessing the Promise of Space.4月4日，艾伦·斯托芬(Ellen Stofan)博士.D., Under Secretary for Science and 研究 at the Smithsonian Institution, will give the Distinguished Scientist Lecture on “Sustaining Earth from Space” and how data from space is critical to the conservation effort here on Earth. Space Week will wrap up on April 8 with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch the total solar eclipse. 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 is providing its internal community with the unique and engaging opportunity to attend an eclipse viewing party at Knibbe Ranch, located directly in the path of totality.
