Lightscape is an enchanting holiday light show at the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, Illinois, where a one-mile path of the 385-acre site is transformed into a light and sound installation this time of year. A particular favorite is the Cathedral of Light, a towering cathedral-window arch of 100,000 lights that extends along a 110-foot tunnel. Along the pathway, you'll also find marshmallow-toasting fire cauldrons and refreshment stands. This year's event runs until January 7, 2024.

Billed as the Great North American Eclipse, a total solar eclipse will cross North America on April 8, 2024, passing over Mexico, the United States and Canada. The path of the eclipse begins in Mexico, entering the United States in Texas, and traveling through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The eclipse will enter Canada in Southern Ontario, and continue through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton. This will be the last time any solar eclipse will be visible within the United States until 2045.
Be prepared! So long as supplies last, you can purchase eclipse glasses and other accessories, like a phone app and photo filter, from American Paper Optics, a NASA-approved manufacturer.
