SUMMARY:FHDC Great Plains: America's Lingering Wild
DESCRIPTION:Discover the beauty and majesty of America’s Great Plains in the work of award-winning photographer Michael Forsberg. Traveling 100\,000 miles over four years\, Forsberg crisscrossed the Plains from Canada to Mexico\, capturing the wildlife\, habitats\, and conservation challenges in the heart of the continent. \nOriginally a book project\, Forsberg set out to capture what some outside observers call “flyover country” in an attempt to bring attention to and build appreciation for this often-overlooked region. Inspiring\, informative\, and timely – the exhibit is a love letter to this endangered ecosystem. \nOn Friday\, November 3\, join Forsberg at the Discovery Center for a private tour with a VIP Gallery Walk and a public presentation during which he will share the story of the dedicated people working to keep the wild prairie alive. His presentation will reflect deeply on this human-landscape relationship in the tallgrass prairie of the Flint Hills of Kansas and across the prairie of North America. \nGreat Plains features:\n60 full color photographs highlighting the Southern Plains\, Northern Plains\, and Tallgrass Prairie regions\nInsights and behind-the-scenes information from Michael Forsberg\nMaps and diagrams of the Great Plains

SUMMARY:Annular Solar Eclipse Viewing
DESCRIPTION:Join the Discovery Center Education staff and local astronomers for a free and safe viewing of the annular solar eclipse\, which occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth while it is at its farthest point from Earth\, making the moon appear smaller than the sun which creates a “ring of fire” effect in the sky. \nChris Sorensen\, amateur astronomer\, will give a presentation in our classroom at 10 a.m. to learn what makes this type of eclipse special and how to safely view it. Or\, just come to Blue Earth Plaza anytime from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. where solar viewing glasses will be provided while supplies last\, and telescopes will be set up for observing the phenomenon. \nIn Manhattan\, we will have an approximately 70% eclipse\, and it will be at its maximum around 11:45 a.m. \nDon’t miss your chance to see this rare celestial occurrence; you’ll have to wait another eight years before the next one comes around.
