Total Eclipse Gathering
Yale Celestial Seminar in Oregon. August 18-21.
Learn the magic behind what is being called the “Great American Eclipse,” bringing travelers from all over the world for a few precious hours of orbital awe in the path of totality. After a weekend of activities for all ages, we will see the stars and planets in the middle of the day just outside Portland, Oregon. Travelers that are not Yale alumni are also very much welcome and encouraged to attend!
We’ve lined up an amazing group of guest speakers, including:
- Dr. Lawrence M. Krauss, a renowned theoretical physicist, leading public intellectual, former Yale Astronomy professor, and founder of the Origins Project
- Dr. Alexander Boxer, plasma physicist, astrolabe aficionado, and author of the upcoming book: “A Scheme of Heaven: A Modern Look at the History and Science of Astrology”
- Ferdinando Buscema, an award-winning Italian illusionist who will give our trip his magic touch
- Eric Schwarz, a cosmic yogi flying in all the way from Australia for this event to make sure our minds and bodies are in interplanetary alignment
- Photography experts, and much, much more
