2024 Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024
Pennsylvania has the distinct privilege of once again being in the direct line of a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. The last time Pennsylvania was in direct line with a total eclipse was 1806. While the path is somewhat westwardly oriented in comparison to the last total eclipse, much of Pennsylvania will lie within the paths of totality or partial totality.

Astronomical events such as solar and lunar eclipses have long drawn the interest and imagination of individuals of all ages. “Once in a lifetime events" such as the total solar eclipse set to occur on April 8, 2024, have now spurred a frenzy of interest, including entrepreneurial and tourism opportunities, thanks to online and broadcast media. The next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will occur in 2044.

This resource is designed to help the educational community as they plan events and communications related to the Monday, April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse event and other solar viewing opportunities.

"An epic, centuries-long performance of one of the most iconic pieces of experimental music has a note change, two years in the making.

Organ2/ASLSP, ‘As Slow as Possible’ is a keyboard work written by American avant-garde composer John Cage in the mid-1980s. The score consists of eight pages of music, to be played on the piano or organ, as the name suggests, very slowly.

When performing the piece, musicians observe the composer’s instruction. The eight pages of music are taken very slowly, and it often takes over an hour to complete the work. In 2009, organist Diane Luchese gave a rendition that lasted for 14 hours and 56 minutes.
But all is eclipsed by a performance on a custom-built organ at St. Burchardi Church in Halberstadt, Germany. The Halberstadt performance began in 2001 ..."
