Partial Lunar Eclipse Watch Party

Join Chabot astronomers for a live watch party of the Partial Lunar Eclipse, as the Moon drifts through Earth’s shadow and puts on a slow, spectacular transformation.
Viewing will begin indoors in Studio 3 with real-time commentary and a live stream of the beginning stages of the eclipse, which won’t be visible from California until later. As the Moon rises higher and visibility improves, we’ll transition out to Chabot’s Observation Deck for outdoor viewing under the night sky.
The Moon rises already in eclipse, with first good visibility around 8:15 pm, then builds toward its dramatic peak at 9:13 pm, when the shadow is at its deepest. After that, the Moon gradually re-emerges, revealing more of its bright surface as the night goes on.
Bring your friends and family, grab a lawn chair, and settle in for a relaxed night under the sky—part science, part spectacle, all lunar magic.

Pride Plant-Powered Tie Dye Workshop
2026-08-30 14:00 - 15:00 | The Tech Interactive, 201 S Market St, San Jose, 95113, United States
Celebrate Pride, science, and art with a hands-on tie dye workshop at The Tech Interactive. On Sunday, Aug. 30, at 2 p.m., guests will explore how different plants can be used to create fabric dyes, then experiment with color, pattern, and design to make a vibrant creation of their own.
From bandanas to Pride flags, each participant will use plant-powered dyes to create a groovy rainbow-inspired design to take home. It is a playful way to connect creativity with chemistry, celebrate Pride, and discover how science can show up in every color.
What to Expect
Guests will:
– Explore how plants can create natural fabric dyes.
– Experiment with how colors interact and change.
– Design and dye a bandana or Pride flag.
– Take home a one-of-a-kind creation.
Workshop tickets are $15 for adults and $15 for kids.
