Solar Eclipse 2017 Watch Party
On Aug. 21, the University of Scranton gathered together to share in a once-in-a-lifetime experience- the first total solar eclipse since Feb. 26, 1979. Equipped with their solar eclipse glasses- some homemade, some bought- the students and faculty collected outside of the Loyola Science Center and all over campus to sneak a peek at the eclipse.
“It was just one of those things you need to take a minute to sit back and see, it’s rare and special and we were lucky enough to experience it on our lifetimes,” said Nicole Borrelli, a senior.
Stay tuned for the sister lunar eclipse that is set to appear on Jan. 31, 2018.
