The U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) invites you to Frasier for an Explorer Series special event, a screening of Gathered in Darkness, followed by a panel discussion on Wednesday, October 29 from 7:30-8:30 pm (MT). 

This event will be in person at Frasier Retirement Community, 350 Ponca Place, Boulder, CO 80303. This event is open to the public, but registration is required for non-residents to attend. 

Event Summary

Total solar eclipses. While these events can evoke feelings of awe and wonder, they also present a unique opportunity for communities to engage in scientific inquiry. In this Explorer Series special event, join us for a screening of Gathered in Darkness, a documentary produced about the CATE 2024 mission, which united communities across the United States to capture over 47,000 images of the corona, our Sun’s wispy outer atmosphere that’s normally hidden. Afterwards, hear from the lead scientists and filmmaker about documenting a large-scale community science project, and get a sneak peak at some of the data and how it can help us better understand solar storms, solar magnetism, and their impact on us here on Earth.  

Free public event recommended for ages 12+
