Welcome to The Night Sky: A Podcast on the Eclipses Comes to Kerrville a podcast which celebrates that for two days over the next 15 months, Kerrville, TX will be the Eclipse Capital of the World. This podcast, hosted by Andrew Gay and Tom Fox will celebrate these two eclipses and discuss how the town of Kerrville will prepare for an influx of a quarter million (or more) visitors. This podcast is produced by the Texas Hill Country Podcast Network. Today, Tom and Andrew visit with noted eclipse chaser Chap Percival. 

Chap Percival is a seasoned educator and advocate for safe and educational eclipse viewing, with a rich background in math and science education and a deep passion for astronomy. His perspective on safe and educational eclipse viewing is shaped by his extensive experience in the field, including his time as a planetarium director and his personal experiences witnessing six eclipses across four continents. Chap strongly emphasizes the importance of safety during eclipse viewing, recommending the use of eclipse glasses and cautioning against young children staring at the sun. He also encourages people to visit his website for more information and resources on safe viewing and his book on eclipses. Join Tom Fox and Andrew Gay as they delve deeper into this topic with Chap Percival on the next episode of The Night Sky podcast.
