Montclair State University recently held a cosmic celebration on campus to mark the partial solar eclipse. The event brought together hundreds of students, faculty, and staff who gathered as a community to observe the celestial phenomenon. Although Montclair was not in the path of totality, it was close, as stated by an unknown source. The 90% partial eclipse provided a surreal and cosmic reason to party, highlighting the excitement surrounding the event, as expressed by another unknown source.
Attendees of the celebration had the opportunity to use safety solar eclipse glasses, pinhole viewers, and a telescope with special filters provided by the Physics and Astronomy Department. The campus event was captured in a photo gallery by John J. LaRosa, showcasing the engagement and enthusiasm of those present during the eclipse observation.
The gathering at Montclair State University exemplified a sense of unity and wonder as the community came together to witness the celestial spectacle. The event not only served as an educational experience but also fostered a spirit of togetherness among participants.
