Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We assisted the local space museum in hosting the 89% partial solar eclipse in southern New Mexico. Attendees were hesitant to view the sun through our solar telescopes but were soon convinced that it would be done safely. The children were excited to see the "Pac-Man" take bites out of the sun.
