On Aug. 21, people across the country gathered outside to watch the solar eclipse, the most widely visible eclipse from North America in nearly 100 years. Herzing University-Toledo was lucky to have Tom Knoedler, a budding meteorologist and co-chair of the General Education Department, on site to help students and staff view the eclipse safely.
Throughout the day, students visited Knoedler’s viewing station, fashioned out of a telescope and poster board, to get an up-close glimpse of the sun with its rays partially covered by the traveling moon. The event drew a crowd during peak viewing time, and even earned some local media attention.
Way to go, Herzing!
