Faces of Boulder: Solar Eclipse

Today there was a partial solar eclipse that brought crowds to the Sommer-Bausch Observatory and Fiske Planetarium on the CU-Boulder campus to get a view of the moon passing in front of the sun. People were using special glasses with filters allowing them to look directly at the sun. People come to this spot on campus to take advantage of the telescopes that are already set up for viewing the sun.
