The ASU community celebrated the solar eclipse with style, science and safety

Far out

It didn’t matter that Tempe wasn’t in the path of totality of the solar eclipse — thousands turned up on the Tempe campus for the viewing party hosted by the School of Earth and Space Exploration, grabbing a pair of ASU glasses and claiming a spot to watch the first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse in 99 years.

Many people came early to get a good seat on the Hayden Lantern to watch the eclipse. The School of Earth and Space Exploration also set up telescopes to observe the phenomenon more closely.
