Abstract: Nationwide anticipation of the total solar eclipse of 2017 provided NASA educators with an incredible platform to share space science with huge audiences. The Public Engagement team for NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center made it our mission to highlight, through a number of initiatives, the central player in the eclipse—the Moon. One of our efforts that proved highly successful was a partnership with Minor League Baseball (MiLB). This partnership provided the LRO team with facilities and event infrastructure and MiLB with eclipse-focused activities, materials, and access to NASA Subject Matter Experts.
