Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Somewhere between 280 and 300 students, faculty and public showed up for the event to observe and learn about the eclipse. Although the eclipse in New Jersey was a partial and there were some clouds the students thoroughly enjoyed learning about it and observing it.
