Flights of Fancy Story Time: “The Eclipse!”

In this original story from the National Air and Space Museum, three friends get ready to watch a solar eclipse. They make eclipse viewers and learn about what an eclipse means. They think about how it is possible that something like the Moon can block something bigger, like the Sun, from our view. Then they experience the wonder of the eclipse together. In “Flights of Fancy Story Time Online,” the National Air and Space Museum offers stories for young children and their families inspired by our collection of air and space objects and historic photos. Educators Ann Caspari and Diane Kidd will tell stories, do sketches, and demonstrate crafts that you can enjoy together at home.
