Unlike a total solar eclipse, a total lunar eclipse is observable over an entire hemisphere. On the night of March 2nd - 3rd, 2026, people across North America will have the chance to see a total lunar eclipse. This workshop is ideally suited for classroom and informal educators, as well as astronomy enthusiasts, who are looking to engage students, adults, and families in this rare astronomical event. In this workshop, discover why a lunar eclipse takes place, and how modeling one is similar to doing so for a total solar eclipse. Discover ways to involve your learners and community in experiencing and responding to this exquisite natural phenomenon.

This workshop takes place in one 1.5 hour live session.

A certificate of completion for participating in 2 clock hours of professional development.

Registration: Free for NASA Partner Eclipse Ambassadors (see email for code), $35 Early Bird Registration through December 31, 2025, $40 Regular Registration through February 3, 2026.
