Eclipse Nightlife

Set your sights on NightLife's first-ever solar eclipse after party. Once the sun sets, the museum comes to life to explore epic celestial bodies, like the Sun and the Moon.

Didn't get to peep the partial solar eclipse in real-time? Watch live replays (safely) in African Hall, where you can explore all things up above.

Plus, chat with science education specialist Dan Zevin from Berkeley Space Sciences Lab.

In the planetarium, enjoy a triple-feature of eclipse-inspired shows.

At 6:30 pm, treat yourself to a live update on the solar eclipse from the Academy's planetarium team, followed by showings of Journey to the Stars and Back to the Moon for Good.

If a trip in the dome leaves you questioning your place in the Universe, seek answers from the experts at Stanford's Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology.

At the Project Lab, meet Academy astronomers as they explain the science behind the solar eclipse and what it means when the Sun and Moon cross paths.

Make crafty, take-home eclipse mobiles with SCRAP and take part in the I/O synth meet up, where you can make otherworldy sounds with modular synths.

In the Piazza, enjoy the out-of-this-world sounds of the UK's Ceephax Acid Crew, providing a stellar soundtrack of acid-techno, drum and bass, and electronic sound waves. Plus, get down to the beat of the Le Heat DJs.

Learn how the sky effects animal behaviors-including dung beetles who use celestial navigation to get around you-know-what-with UC Berkeley entomologist Traci Grzymala.
