Sisters of St. Benedict to host Eclipse discussion with NASA Ambassador

This Friday, March 8, the Sisters of St. Benedict will host a discussion with Tony Bryan, a NASA Ambassador and resident of Jasper, Indiana, to speak about the totality solar eclipse happening in April.

Because Dubois County lies within the estimated path of totality, visitors to the monastery will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fully experience a total eclipse.

Tony Bryan is an amateur astronomer and the Evansville Astronomical Society president. He has been interested in astronomy and space exploration since childhood, inspired by television and print coverage of Project Gemini and Project Apollo.

He has earned the Astronomical League Outreach Award, Stellar Level, and has been a contributing writer for an astronomy technology magazine. For him, being a Solar System Ambassador is a unique opportunity to share his passion for space exploration and astronomy with the public.

This discussion will take place in St. Gertrude Hall at the monastery and is free and open to the public, with a free-will offering for those who want to give their support.

No registration is required.
