A spectator gazes at the eclipse during a watch event at the Medlar Field at Lubrano Park at University Park campus on April 8. The SolarFest event, hosted by the Eberly College of Science, drew a record crowd of 8,411. The University Park campus was in the path of 95% totality for the solar eclipse.
Thousands of visitors crowded into the soccer/lacrosse complex at Penn State Behrend, in Erie, to view the eclipse in totality. Cheers rippled across the field as the sun’s corona became visible.
