About this event
Members of the campus and local community are invited to join MSU astronomers and Astronomy Club members for a special viewing of the Great American Solar Eclipse, which can be seen at 89 percent from the Starkville campus. Event organizers will have 1,000 pairs of glasses, pin-hole viewers and a few telescopes available. Attendees are encouraged to bring a chair or blanket to the Drill Field. In case of rain or heavy cloud cover, Room 1030 in the new Old Main Academic Center has been reserved for 1-3 p.m. NASA’s live feed of the eclipse will be projected, with additional activities on hand.
