On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will sweep across North America. Getting to see totality of an eclipse—when it's safe to gaze directly at the Sun's swirling atmosphere—is one of the most incredible astronomical events a person can witness. It won't happen again in America until 2044!

Because the path of totality is slightly north of Ithaca, we will be chartering buses for undergraduate students.

Our destination will be the Rochester eclipse festival (ROC The Eclipse). Food will NOT be provided. Please bring your own lunch or plan to buy food at the festival.

DO NOT return late to the buses. We will not wait for you after the scheduled departure time of 4 PM (this will be reiterated during the trip). If you miss the bus, you will be responsible for your own transportation back to Ithaca.

Eclipse glasses and safety information will be provided to all participants.
