Texas Public Radio members enjoyed an exclusive setting for this year’s total solar eclipse in Kerrville at the Museum of Western Art (located at 1550 Bandera Hwy). The day included a special Think Science presentation featuring Craig Bobchin, president of Astronomy 4 You.
For 16 years, Bobchin has helped amateur astronomers with choosing the right telescope, interpreting what they see in the night sky, and even basic astrophotography. Bobchin has traveled throughout the country to observe eclipses of varying types. You can listen to the talk using the audio player a the top of this page, and follow along with Craig's presentation, embedded below.
