Dyersburg State to Host Solar Eclipse Viewing Event

 

Dyersburg, Tennessee - Dyersburg State Community College (DSCC) will host a Solar Eclipse Viewing Event Aug. 21 on the Dyersburg campus. Activities will kick off at 12 noon inside the DSCC Student Center with a welcome message from President Karen Bowyer and a short presentation by Aklilu Maasho, assistant professor of physics. Viewing glasses will be passed out to visitors beginning at 12:30 p.m. The event will also be live streamed via NASA inside the Student Center.

Weather permitting, the DSCC Dyersburg campus will view a partial eclipse when the moon obscures part of the sun. A total eclipse will be viewable throughout a 70-mile wide path that crosses 14 of the United States (U.S.) from Oregon to South Carolina.

The last total eclipse in the U.S. occurred on Feb. 26, 1979 and the last total eclipse that crossed the entire continent occurred on June 8, 1918.
