Bobcat Reads: American Eclipse: A Nation’s Epic Race to Catch the Shadow of the Moon and Win the Glory of the World
Friday, March 15, 2024 — 12:00pm
Bobcat Reads will be discussing American Eclipse: A Nation’s Epic Race to Catch the Shadow of the Moon and Win the Glory of the World by David Baron from March 15, 2024 through May 2024.
Embark on a journey back to the summer of 1878, where three intrepid scientists ventured to the American West to witness a total solar eclipse. This riveting narrative not only delves into the intricacies of astronomy but also explores the ambition to elevate the United States’ standing in the global scientific community.
As we delve into this historical quest for knowledge, we can’t help but draw parallels to the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8th, 2024!
