The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport, NY is inviting space enthusiasts to experience the upcoming solar eclipse with a unique “Interplanetary Getaway” weekend. This immersive program delves into Steuben County’s surprising connection to astronomy and space exploration.
From Corning Inc.’s role in crafting the world’s largest telescope and special glass for space shuttle windows, to Glenn Curtiss’ pioneering work in aviation that paved the way for space travel, the itinerary promises a stellar adventure. Participants will also explore the connection between local wineries, like Bully Hill and Heron Hill, whose famous “Eclipse” wines nod to the celestial event, and a renowned glass artist married to an astronaut.
This fun-filled weekend serves as the perfect prelude to witnessing the solar eclipse firsthand. For more information and to register, visit the Explore Steuben website.
