Secure your spot for a weekend packed with celestial wonders and enriching activities
The Metropolis Chamber of Commerce invites the community and surrounding region to embark on a weekend of discovery and entertainment in Metropolis, Saturday, April 6th through April 8th.
The Chamber has announced that the Super Solar Eclipse Celebration will not only offer a dynamic marketplace, heart-pounding performances by live bands, and, of course, the breathtaking solar eclipse experience but also enlightening sessions with NASA scientists,
NASA will bring an exciting outreach program to the city of Metropolis with a team of 3 Marshall engineers who will set up an informative display near the Superman Statue. On the morning of the eclipse, the team will be on-site to engage with the public, offering insights into the eclipse, Artemis & NASA’s missions.
The day after the eclipse, Nicholas Mastramico will collaborate with local schools for a NASA presentation, highlighting Artemis and NASA’s plans for the future.
The Chamber reminds the community to look out for the 20′ inflatable Artemis rocket for memorable photo opportunities.
Weather permitting, a HELSA telescope with solar filtration, courtesy of Nicholas Mastramico, will offer views of the eclipse, projected onto a screen.
