Three weeks until Eclipse 2017
Eclipse 2017 is just three weeks away!
Not only will it be an amazing experience for young people, but there are ample learning opportunities.
The Boy Scouts Great Rivers Council is hosting a golf tournament in Jefferson City for the once-in-a-lifetime event.
Players will get a commemorative golf shirt, eclipse viewing glasses and a glow in-the-dark ball so the eclipse does not have to interfere with the pace of their game.
The Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland is hosting Girl Scouts from all over the country for a learning event in Columbia.
It will include two days of hands-on activities with female professors and students from the University of Missouri’s astronomy, physics, and engineering departments.
The Girl Scouts will be meeting at Silver Meadows in Hallsville, just north of Columbia.
Erica Bisig, of the Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland said, “It’s about 130 acres so there won’t be any light pollution for the girls to worry about. We’ll be having s’mores and fun things like that.”
ABC 17 will have a live special report from Columbia and Jefferson City on Aug. 21.
