Eclipse Today! Be Safe
Today at 11:13 a.m. the moon will align with and block part of the sun. We will see a partial solar eclipse, with at most 46% of the sun's diameter covered. Do not look at the sun without proper eye protection. You can buy eclipse glasses at the De Anza Planetarium. Enjoy the eclipse safely! Find more information on the Planetarium's social media.

Cal Grant Deadline Extended to May 2
There's still time to apply for a Cal Grant.

The deadline is being extended for this year only because of changes in the FAFSA process.
