Huge crowds await a total solar eclipse in North America. Join us for 'Eclipse Across America' as we track the celestial sensation.Graduate students at SUNY Brockport hosted an educational presentation on eclipses during their school's "Total Eclipse of the Port" event Monday, April 8, 2024.

SUNY Brockport was in the solar eclipse spirit Monday, hosting hosted hundreds of people to witness five extra seconds of totality during Monday's total solar eclipse during its "Total Eclipse of the Port" event.Graduate students put together an immersive presentation at the school's planetarium, teaching visitors about the movement of the eclipse — up to and beyond totality — as well as the history of eclipses — both past and future.

The show also got people excited to see more than just the solar spectacle, teaching them that the sun isn't the only star people can look out for. "They showed entire constellations and all the stars that we should be able to see," said Mario Miranda Saczo of Penn Yan. "They gave us an idea of the immensity of the university. It's something amazing to see."

"I have my chair down on the center of the line of totality," said Barbara Lynch of Massachusetts. "It's just going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
