Yep, all kinds of events going on morrow.
Miami-based cruise line Royal Caribbean International's Oasis of the Seas has announced that '80s ingenue Bonnie Tyler will perform her classic, "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" during a concert on the ship as a solar eclipse plunges the sky into darkness. The show will be timed to start just as the ship enters the path of the total eclipse, off the coast of The Bahamas, at about 3 p.m.If you're not in the path of totality, don't worry, the Internet has you covered. The astronomy education group Slooh will be offering access via their robotic telescope network, which will provide live feeds from cameras across the United States pointed at the sky in the path of totality. NASA has also joined in on the fun and will also provide a live stream. It features coverage from 12 locations on the ground, as well as views from research planes, high-altitude balloons, and satellites.Mayday Brewery Murfreesboro, North Carolina is capitalizing on that connection. Local Pink Floyd tribute band, Us And Them, will perform the album from the first heartbeat to the last beginning at 12:46 p.m., bringing about the the climax of the album's last cut, “Eclipse," during the total eclipse of the sun at 1:29 p.m.
The bar is also offering a small batch beer, also called “Eclipse," created by head brewer Kelsey Nelson. The habanero stout will represent the heat of the sun behind the dark moon—perfect for that great gig in the sky.
