SOLD OUT Lunch & Learn: Colorado Springs and the Eclipse of 1878

Learn something new on your lunch break! During a CSPM Lunch & Learn program join a content expert to get a behind-the-scenes look into a fascinating subject. Take a deep dive into a variety of topics explored in CSPM’s exhibits and beyond.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM & PRESENTER

The total solar eclipse of 1878 brought the world’s greatest astronomers to the American West, just 7 years after Colorado Springs was founded. Tourists crowded our streets, while astronomers carted a huge telescope to the summit of Pikes Peak. Come hear about one of the most exciting scientific events to occur in our city’s early history.

Steve Ruskin has a PhD in the History and Philosophy of Science, and is the author of the book America’s First Great Eclipse.
