During a blood moon all the sunrises and sunsets of the Earth are shining onto the moon turning it a crimson color. Lunar Eclipses are rare events that is why A Time For Science and the Carolina Skies Astronomy Club will be pulling an all-nighter on January 20 to observe the Eclipse. So come and stay up late with us to view this colorful celestial phenomenon and to enjoy a couple planetarium shows too.

S.A.G.E. (Serious About Girls’ Empowerment) Sisters is a program designed for middle school girls to be informed, safe, and confident in the wilderness. Lessons are taught by specialists on topics such as fire-building, self-defense, and robotics. The program culminates in an overnight backpacking trip where the girls use the skills they’ve been learning. Second and third year participants take on the role of mentor as they continue the program. This is free and open to the public. A shuttle is provided from Grifton School and Ayden Middle.
