The last total solar eclipse to occur in this
state was in 1970, and the next is not likely to
appear until around the year 2017, according
to Safko.
One or two partial eclipses are possible for
any one year.
Two viewing sites, one at the law center's
fountain steps and the other at he corner of
Gcrvais and Pickens streets, were set up for
public viewing through telescopres.
T1IKSK SITES were chosen because of
