SOLAR ECLIPSE WEBCAST
SOUTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
CENTER FOR NASA RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY
COMPUTER LAB
The CNRT Computer Lab was just one of 150 institutions throughout the US, and only one of three in the state of South Carolina, that hosted the webcast of the solar eclipse from Zambia in southern Africa. Since the total solar eclipse was visible in the southern hemisphere the webcast of this event allowed viewers throughout the world to see the eclipse as it occurred.
Flyers announcing the event were produced and distributed on campus. Coffee and other breakfast refreshments were made available to the attendees. A total of 21 people attended the webcast.
Support of webcasting activities is part of a new MU-SPIN initiative. Future
SCSU involvement in this area will include webcasting of public observing nights
and transient astronomical events such as the passing of a bright comet.
