Observing the sky is a part of being human, and eclipses are no exception. Every culture that has seen an eclipse has developed an understanding and knowledge around eclipses. Explore some of the ways humans around the world relate to the sky. These tellings have been entrusted to us, so let us honor the cultures who have shared them with us. 

Created as part of the NASA Partner Eclipse Ambassadors program, dedicated to reaching underserved audiences with compelling and relevant eclipse engagement.  

Whether you print these cards or use the slide deck to present ways of knowing eclispes, we encourage you to share the wonders of eclipses from cultures around the world! 









Some topics from the cards:

• How to be respectful of these cultural differences, including those who do not view eclipses
• Questions to engage people about eclipses
• Take time to share an experience of an eclipse that inspired you.
