Tupper Lake, N.Y. - Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik attended the Adirondack Sky Center and Observatory’s “Totality in Tupper Lake” event at the LP Quinn Elementary School with members of the community and visitors to watch the eclipse.
On April 8th, 2024, a total solar eclipse took place across the United States with NY-21 mostly in the path of the eclipse. The Adirondack Sky Center is one of twelve locations nationwide that will be providing NASA with a live video feed of the eclipse.
“The historic solar eclipse has been a huge economic opportunity to showcase our Adirondack small businesses and communities. Our district is so proud that the Adirondack Sky Center and Observatory was chosen to play a pivotal role in today’s historic eclipse by supplying NASA with one of only twelve live video feeds of the event. Because of this incredible organization in NY-21, millions were able to witness and enjoy what for many is a once in a lifetime event,” said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
"As the only astronomy-based organization within the Adirondack Park, we have been planning for several years to create an experience that is safe, fun, and educational for our visitors," said Seth McGowan, President of the Adirondack Sky Center.
