The College of Arts and Sciences Celebrates Eclipse 2024
On April 8, 2024, the Syracuse University campus will be directly in the path of totality for a solar eclipse. This means the moon will totally obscure the sun, creating a solar corona (wispy, white streamers of gas that radiate out from the sun) for a little over 1 minute at 3:23 p.m. EST. This is the last time the contiguous United States will see a total solar eclipse until August 23, 2044.

Join Sam and hundreds of your other best friends on the Quad for a variety of eclipse activities from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m., including several educational stations hosted by the Department of Physics. Syracuse University Libraries will also supply a device which turns light into sound to be broadcast at the event for guests who are visually impaired.
A limited number of eclipse glasses and pinhole projectors to help you view the eclipse safely will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Eclipse glasses are also available for purchase online from a variety of manufacturers.
