The was the scene at the Exploratorium's Overnight Eclipse Celebration July 13-August 1. Visitors gathered to watch a live Webcast of the total solar eclipse from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwestern China near the Mongolian border.

 

To celebrate this evocative locale along the ancient trade route called the Silk Road, the Exploratorium presented performances, hands-on activities, storytelling, and installations to highlight the cultural diversity of this region.

 

We also featured a host of astronomy-related activities, designed to help people of all ages understand eclipse science.
