Hamptons Observatory, and co-host Suffolk County Community College, are pleased to present a free, virtual lecture by Dr. Kate Russo.

A total solar eclipse is a powerful event to witness. Some find the experience so profoundly moving that they repeatedly travel great distances to view them. Others have been inspired to express their experience in poetry, music and art. In this presentation, renown solar eclipse aficionado and author, Dr. Kate Russo, will delve deep into a simple yet surprisingly complex question: What is it like to experience a total solar eclipse? She will also share tips about how to prepare for the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.

Dr. Kate Russo is an author, psychologist, and eclipse chaser who has seen 13 total solar eclipses from six continents over two decades. Founder of Being in the Shadow, Kate is a leading expert in the human experience of totality and a recognized authority on community eclipse planning. With her passionate and engaging presentations, media interviews, articles, books and more, she has convinced audiences worldwide to experience the awe and wonder of a total solar eclipse – by being in the shadow.

Hamptons Observatory extends its deepest thanks to Dr. Russo for generously taking the time to share her expertise, and to co-host Suffolk County Community College for its kind collaboration.
