April 8 was an exciting day for many across North America. Although the path of total darkness could only be witnessed in parts of Mexico, 15 U.S. states and eastern Canada, the Great Lakes Bay region witnessed 94% coverage.
Thanks to a well-timed fire drill, students and staff on campus were seen gazing up at the eclipsed sun (with their protective eyewear of course).The fire drill started at 3 p.m. and lasted about 15 minutes, giving people on campus the opportunity to catch the eclipse at its peak at 3:13 – not to mention the warm weather and clear, sunny skies.
The next total solar eclipse for the U.S. with a coast-to-coast path will not happen again until 2045.
