Viewing of total eclipse of the moon is Saturday*

On the evening of Saturday, March 3, there will be a total eclipse of the moon as the moon passes through the shadow of the earth. This event will be going on when the moon rises (about 6p.m.), but it will stay fully eclipsed for about half an hour after that.

The Physics Department, and the Physics and Astronomy Club will host an eclipse viewing in the observation area by the observatory on the roof of Hoffman Hall (accessible through a stairwell from the third floor). Telescopes will be available, starting at 6 p.m.
