There's something about seeing the sun go dark that makes people think a little harder about the world around them. Sometimes people see eclipses as a sign of great things to come. Other eclipses herald catastrophe! Occasionally, people just couldn't see them because it was cloudy.
Explore the stories we've told about eclipses with researchers from History, French and Italian, and other IU humanities departments on April 6, 2024, in Student Building 150 from 10-3pm. View our schedule below.
Find out more about eclipse hands-on learning at our historySLAM and AstroLABe events, sponsored by
Astrolabes offered medieval philosophers, scientists and navigators a way to map the stars and measure the world around them. Get your own astrolabe and find out how to use it from 10-11:30 am at the HistorySLAM's AstroLABe event.
