The Syracuse University campus is one the lucky places in the United States to be treated to the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, meaning the moon will totally obscure the sun for a brief period of time. The College is celebrating the occasion with a special eclipse webpage which includes tips and knowledge from our faculty. In advance of the eclipse, A&S professors have been interviewed and quoted by news organizations from around the country. Below are some of the media highlights.
