Solar Eclipse at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
Gather outside the Udvar-Hazy Center to watch the solar eclipse with other excited sky-gazers. The museum provides safe solar telescopes and projection viewers to help watch the moon slowly block most of the sun.
Programming takes place outside the main entrance and near the Wall of Honor.
The eclipse will be visible in the Washington, DC, area between 2:04 pm and 4:32 pm. Maximum eclipse will be at 3:20 pm, with the sun 87% covered by the moon.
It is recommended that visitors bring their own eclipse glasses to the event. Please check the resources listed on the museum's solar eclipse deep dive for information on how to obtain safe eclipse glasses or solar viewers.
Museum admission and the program are free; parking is $15/car.
Sponsored by Thomas W. Haas Foundation, Otto Haas Charitable Trust, The Waterman Trust, and Wyncote Foundation.
Information on the event taking place on the National Mall is available here.
