Edelman Planetarium at Rowan University

08/13/2026

We had a great time viewing yesterday's eclipse at the Edelman Fossil Park of Rowan University! We handed out hundreds of eclipse glasses to visitors so everyone could safely view our star. Our solar telescopes gave a magnified view of the eclipse and several sunspots.

Even Tracy the Triceratops came out for a peek at the eclipse!

We're set up for the partial solar eclipse this afternoon! Be sure to stop by between 1:10 and 2:30 to catch a glimpse!

Remember never to look at the Sun without proper protection! We're giving away eclipse glasses and using specialized telescopes to give you safe views of the Sun as the Moon passes in front.

Be one of the first to hear the latest from Phoebe Bridgers! New showtimes have been added, but tickets won't last long. Once they're gone, they're gone!

Ahead of its worldwide release on August 14th via Dead Oceans, Phoebe Bridgers' newest album Lost Weekend will debut in full inside planetariums around the globe.

Each listening session pairs the album with one of two original visual accompaniments: a custom dome show designed by renowned night-sky photographer Babak Tafreshi, or a unique immersive laser show designed by Laser Fantasy. Both presentations offer their own atmospheric perspective that turns your first listen into a shared sonic and visual experience.

Note: This is not a performance, and Phoebe Bridgers will not be in attendance.

Presented in partnership with Spotify.

As an astronomer, Amy Barraclough has spent her career helping people understand the importance of dark skies. During Mission Patagonia, learning about conservation further expanded that focus.

One clear takeaway: addressing light pollution matters far beyond astronomy. Artificial light at night impacts ecosystems, human health, and wastes enormous amounts of energy—while also erasing the night sky.

Reducing light pollution is one way awe turns into action, protecting both the environment and our shared view of the universe.

This is what looks like: curiosity that doesn’t stay in one lane, and expertise that grows by crossing boundaries.
