The Orlando Science Center, naturally, was the place to be in Central Florida during the recent solar eclipse.
The facility sold solar eclipse viewing glasses along with a day’s admission on Monday, handing them out while hosting a series of workshops and events to teach its visitors.
Although Orlando was not in the “path of totality,” the region could see a 60 percent eclipse from 1:46 p.m. to 4:17 p.m.
The peak was at 3:03 p.m.
A 101-style workshop kicked off the day at the Science Center answering the question: “What is a solar eclipse?”
NASA experts then hosted a live stream that visitors could view at the Center’s café and Dr. Dare’s Lab had a full day of experiments.
In addition, the local hosts of the podcast “Are We There Yet?” were on hand, gathering questions for an astronaut that could be featured on a future broadcast.
You can see some photos of the day below.
