Lunch & Learn: Colorado Springs and the Eclipse of 1878

Lunch & Learn: Colorado Springs and the Eclipse of 1878

Presented by Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum at CSPM Annex

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.

Bring your questions and ideas for this insightful conversation over lunch at the CSPM Annex.
