<p><span class="ql-size-large" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">From safety best practices to knowing the science of an eclipse, putting together eclipse-themed programming can be a challenge. Thankfully, you’re not alone! There’s a ton of resources from folks like NASA to help guide you. We’ve curated a list of some helpful websites we think are particularly helpful in planning for this event. </span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2><span class="ql-size-large">Helpful Websites</span></h2><p><a href="https://www.inthepathoftotality.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="ql-size-large">In The Path of Totality</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://eclipse.aas.org/eclipse-america/eclipse-experience" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ql-size-large">American Astronomical Society: The Solar Eclipse Experience</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://eclipse.aas.org/resources" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ql-size-large">American Astronomical Society: Resources</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BT58RYV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ql-size-large">Free Eclipse Glasses for Libraries</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/resources/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ql-size-large">Great American Eclipse: Essential Eclipse Resources</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/eclipses/2024/apr-8-total/overview/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ql-size-large">NASA: April 8, 2024, Solar Eclipse</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.fraknoi.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Resources-Connecting-Eclipses-and-Other-Fields.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ql-size-large">Resources Connecting Eclipses and Other Fields (Particularly the Humanities)</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.scigames.org/eclipse/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ql-size-large">SCIGames: Solar Eclipse Activities for Libraries</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2><a href="https://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="ql-size-large">Eclipse Glasses &amp;
