Cell phones aimed at the sky, students, faculty, and staff met the total solar eclipse with awe and wonder.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ every 400 years,<\/span> a specific place on Earth will have the opportunity to bask in the darkness of a total solar eclipse. April 8 was Rochester\u2019s moment. Expecting as many as 500,000 out-of-town visitors, the city hosted several public watch parties, including those at the Rochester Museum and Science Center and Parcel 5 downtown.<\/p>\n

On the River Campus, thousands of Rochester students, faculty, and staff flooded the Hajim, Eastman, and Wilson quads to experience the marvel of cosmic happenstance in a festival-like atmosphere. But the only ecliptic interplay that could be seen came in the form of two students in inflatable sun and moon costumes. Clouds concealed all views of the umbra and solar corona.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the moments leading up to totality were filled with excited \u201cWoos\u201d which eventually gave way to murmurings of awe and wonder.<\/p>\n
