The astronomy event of 2017 will be the total eclipse of the sun on August 21. OLLI is offering a motor coach trip to a viewing destination directly in the path of the eclipse. The trip will be led by Ed Schmidt, emeritus professor of Physics and Astronomy at UNL, and Skip Morris, retired high school physics and astronomy educator, both OLLI members. In addition, on August 14 and August 15, there will be pre-eclipse classes at Mueller Planetarium. Look for complete information and registration details in next week’s OLLI Friday Happenings on June 16.
