Total Solar Eclipse with Astronomer Dean Regas
Total Solar Eclipse with Astronomer Dean Regas
Join Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park as we host Astronomer Dean Regas on Saturday, March 30!
A total solar eclipse is the most spectacular natural event you can ever witness. The Moon glides slowly in front of the Sun and at just the right moment, in just the right place, the Moon completely covers the Sun. Astronomer and eclipse expert Dean Regas will tell you what to expect, where to go and how to safely observe and photograph a solar eclipse on April 8.
Mr. Regas is a renowned public speaker, author, educator, national popularizer of astronomy and an expert in observational astronomy.
He served as the astronomer for the Cincinnati Observatory from 2000-2023. He is the author of six books including "100 Things to See in the Night Sky" and “How to Teach Grown-Ups About Pluto”. From 2010-2019 Dean was the co-host of the PBS program Star Gazers.
Dean has contributed to Astronomy Magazine, Sky and Telescope Magazine, Farmer's Almanac, USAToday, Science Friday and Here & Now. He is also the host of a popular astronomy podcast called "Looking Up with Dean Regas."
Dean brings the complicated field of astronomy down to Earth for people of all ages.
