Partial Solar Eclipse walk at Parkhill Prairie with Rich Jaynes and Amy Martin
Michelle Connally, Class of 2018 – While we explore, the Sun will be undergoing an annular solar eclipse. Because we are outside the central eclipse band, it’ll only be a partial eclipse from our perspective and won’t have the shadow darkening effect of more precise eclipses.
