ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Science Center is hosting a series of eclipse events today. The center is inviting the public to the free, family-friendly viewing experience. No tickets are required for entry.
The day’s activities are centered around a live NASA live video stream, set to start at noon in the Planetarium Theater. The eclipse is expected to reach its peak in St. Louis at 2 p.m.
The path of totality—the region where the eclipse is completely visible—lies just south of St. Louis. The city will still experience an eclipse, with the moon blocking out 99 percent of the sun.
Will Snyder of the St. Louis Science Center encourages those who can make the journey to the path of totality to do so. It is about an hour’s drive south of St. Louis. During the total eclipse, the moon will block most of the sun’s rays.
