Greensboro was not very lucky with respect to eclipse viewing yesterday. In the above photo, you see students from the University of North Carolina Greensboro standing on the bridge to the Petty Science Building. As you can see from the umbrellas and the gray sky above, the skies over Greensboro were not accommodating during the eclipse. Sadly, at least in central Greensboro, the eclipse was eclipsed. We were close to being in the path of totality, but the cloud/fog coverage trumped the eclipse. 

Many locals reported getting in their cars and out-driving the overcast skies. As for the students, they appeared to stay put and watch the eclipse coverage by NASA- of places where viewing was favorable. There were a few tv screens scattered around the UNCG campus. The 2024 solar eclipse won’t be anywhere near Greensboro, so start planning your viewing vacation, if seeing a total eclipse is on your bucket list. Happy Tuesday!
