Faculty, staff, students, and family members gathered in the Greenspring quad on Monday to observe the solar eclipse. The Westminster Astronomical Society was on hand to provide viewing glasses and sun-themed snacks were provided by organizers from the School of the Sciences and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. The physics department set up their telescope to view the event up close. It was a little overcast, but there was definitely enough breaks in the clouds to get a good view of the 80% sun coverage here in Maryland.
