Marylanders Gather to Witness the Majestic Solar Eclipse: A Celebration of Science and Humanity

On Monday, the skies of Baltimore were a focus for all who wanted to witness the solar eclipse. Although the city was not in the path of totality, many Marylanders took advantage of this rare occurrence to go outside and experience it firsthand.

The Maryland Science Center provided a unique opportunity for families to enjoy the event. Telescopes, filtered glasses, and sun spotter devices were made available for safe viewing. Val Sullivan, Marketing Manager at the center, was thrilled about sharing this experience with the public.

Visitors of all ages marveled at the celestial event, with some bringing their children to witness it and learn more about our solar system. The interactive stations and educational gadgets at the Maryland Science Center allowed attendees to observe the lunar phenomenon while gaining knowledge about space science.

For many, like Joey Merboth and Lisa Mowell, it was an exciting experience that sparked their interest in space science. Brayan Rodriguez shared a special moment with his family in Mexico as they were among the first in North America to see it. Even though it’s years until the next solar eclipse occurs, those who experienced it will cherish these memories for years to come.
