Today, millions of people across the globe will look to the skies to catch a glimpse of a rare solar eclipse. With the line of totality crossing through central Texas, residents may wonder where they can safely see the event for themselves.
Astronomers in the Sam Houston State University Department of Physics and Astronomy will host an eclipse viewing event that is open to the community from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Frank Parker Plaza, weather permitting. Should rain put a damper on the event, they will relocate to suite 204 in the Farrington Building, where they will still do demonstrations and stream the eclipse on NASA TV.
