25 Toronto Public Libraries are hosting workshops for the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse

The Toronto Public Library is hosting a number of free workshops across the area in anticipation of the total solar eclipse.

From pinhole viewers to educational lessons, there tons of workshops available now through April, leading up to the big day on April 8th.

“Astronomers from the University of Toronto will help participants make their own pinhole solar viewers, look at the surface of the sun through telescopes equipped with solar filters, and learn about the geometry of the eclipse by creating their own scale model of the Earth-Moon-Sun system,” shares TPL.
