'The Great American Eclipse'
A total solar eclipse will sweep across the United States for the first time in decades, creating what many astronomers are describing as the biggest astronomical event in the United States in many years. UW-Eau Claire will host an eclipse-viewing event from noon-2:30 p.m. Aug. 21 in the outdoor amphitheater in front of Davies Center. Astronomy faculty will have two or three telescopes set up for viewing. They also will have eclipse glasses (required for anyone viewing the partial or total eclipse) for visitors to use. They expect the best viewing in Eau Claire — maximum eclipse — to be a little after 1 p.m.
