On April 8th, parts of Canada, Mexico, and the United States will experience a total solar eclipse.

For those of us in the path of totality, the skies will darken.

And if it's not cloudy, you might even be able to see the Corona, the outer

atmosphere of the sun. I'll be at the Fairbanks Museum with Planetarium

Director Mark Breen for a live special broadcast and you can listen or watch. It's live on April 8th

from 3 to 4 p.m. Eastern time. Join us online from anywhere in the world at

Vermont public.org. You'll be able to call in

and ask your questions live. That's April 8th from 3 to 4 p.m. eastern just go to

vermont public.org. This is, but why, a podcast for Curious Kids from Vermont Public.

I'm Jane Lindholm. I host the show.

You send us your questions about the world around you and it's my job and the job of my colleagues, my teammates, to search high and low for interesting people that we can interview so you can get answers. We love answering all kinds of questions and it

is so cool that technology allows us to talk to interesting people no matter where

they are right from where we are in Vermont.

But when we get a chance to go on a field trip, we get really excited.
