THE "GREAT AMERICAN ECLIPSE" AT SUNY NEW PALTZ
Amateur astronomers of all ages brought their glasses, telescopes and homemade viewing boxes to SUNY New Paltz on Aug. 21 to see a solar eclipse with their own (protected!) eyes.
While that arc of momentary darkness did not extend as far north as New Paltz, hundreds of people still came out to the College’s Excelsior Concourse to witness the phenomenon.
