    Taking the Kids — to see the solar eclipse on August 21

    ByEileen Ogintz August 3, 2017July 17, 2021

    We’re talking about a different kind of milestone, but one equally memorable — the 2017 total solar eclipse, something that happens only rarely in this country. It’s an event they’ll remember all their lives, and should be good for many science projects to come.
