Questions? Email astronomer Richard Tresch Fienberg at rick.fienberg [at] aas.org, who wrote:

Most of the events mapped to date are in the path of totality, but [some] communities off the path are organizing activities to share safe views of the partial eclipse with members of the public. We want to know about them, too.

Are you giving a lecture or other presentation about the eclipse to your local astronomy club, civic group, or public library? Is your local planetarium doing any eclipse programming? We want to know about that, too!

Here’s a complete list of event and activity types that we’re including on the map:

Astronomy Club Meeting
Citizen Science Activity
Community Festival (Multi-Day)
Documentary or Film Screening
Eclipse Day Observing
Lecture or Presentation

Bottom line: You’re invited to add your eclipse-related event or activity – for the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse – to the American Astronomical Society’s eclipse map.
