Community Annular Solar Eclipse Event in College Station
Ringer Library Grounds

By Tom Campbell

Tim Cowden and Tom Campbell set up telescopes at the Ringer Library in College Station, TX for participants to look at the annular solar eclipse. The library gave away solar sunglasses to 1,000 visitors who came to the grounds of the library to view the eclipse. We estimated that there were about 1,200 folks in all.
