No zone of totality? No problem. In Rochester, we just considered this a warm-up for 2024 when we'll see the full eclipse.

From Eastman quad to the engineering quad, campus was filled with people, eclipse glasses in hand, to view the moon passing through the path of the sun, offering views of a partial eclipse. Despite some passing clouds, the show didn't disappoint. For those without glasses, there were the low-tech alternatives, viewing through everything from cereal boxes to large shipping containers. And of course, being a research university, we had some high-tech options for viewing as well. A telescope fitted with the proper filter proved to be a popular option for viewing, and for taking photos through the eyepiece.

Now that we've gotten a primer on viewing a solar eclipse, we'll be ready for our moment in the zone of totality, a little less than seven years away.
