To: [log in to unmask]

The world's most awaited eclipse is here, and you can celebrate from around the world, wherever you are!

Dear friends and colleagues,

We're in the final countdown to August 21 Total Solar Eclipse. Wherever you are, we wish you all clear skies and that you have an amazing experience! In the last months, through our IAU Astronomy Outreach Newsletters, we have been continuously featuring some of the best programs around - from the multitude of programs in the US, where the totality can be seen from coast to coast, to the many places that will experience a partial solar eclipse. As continuous messages with activities continue to reach us, we don't want to miss the opportunity to share, one last time, some of the great programs around:
