August 21st, 2017 will see a total solar eclipse, and Bucknell astronomer Ned Ladd and a team of students led by Payton Johnson will head out to a campsite in either Tennessee or South Carolina (depending on whether conditions) where they can gather data about the event.
DP&S staff Diane Jakacki, Luyang Ren, Janine Glathar, Deb Balducci, and Emily Sherwood have provided support to build a WordPress site for the project, track the team’s social media posts via GPS, and track the eclipse’s path using ArcGIS.
Follow the team on Twitter and Instagram, and view their website below.
