Sounds great....please do that., but it would be great if you could keep the stream going longer as I think the peak of the event is around 6:25pm PST.

Thanks for the question. We won't have anything out front for the transit. However, from 3-5pm Academy visitors can go on the roof to view the transit. The planetarium staff will have solar telescopes, telescopes projecting the image and a few eclipse glasses (although the transit is difficult to see without magnification). We also will be streaming the Exploratorium's live feed of the transit from Hawaii at our Science in Action exhibit and the Naturalist Center.
