Join the George Fox Rocket Team in watching the total lunar eclipse tonight (Thursday) at 10 p.m. in Wood-Mar 110. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth moves between the Sun and Moon, blocking most of the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon and turning it a dark red color.

There will be cherry pie and gluten-free strawberry pie available on a first-come, first-served basis. If it is clear enough, we will watch from outside, but if visibility is an issue due to weather, we will watch on a screen.  Bring a friend, and let’s celebrate this unique occurrence together!

For any questions you may have, please contact rocketteam@georgefox.edu.

Please take 60 seconds to answer a few questions about art! This survey is short and fun, and your engagement will go a long way. Thank you!
