On Monday, April 8, thousands across the U.S. went outside to view this year’s historic total solar eclipse, fully observable in over 10 states (with the coverage area referred to as the “path of totality”). 

And those in Bryan County were not left behind, with many viewing the partial eclipse from schools, parks, and even parking lots. 

A solar eclipse is when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the Sun to onlookers.
