If you’re willing to get up at the crack of dawn on Thursday you might just see a solar eclipse.
Hamilton College Sophomore Marvin Lopez is studying Astronomy and has been looking into deep space to find new planets, but Thursday morning’s solar eclipse has him pretty excited. The sun and the distance that we are from the sun makes it possible for us to have these eclipses, so like on other planets you might not see the eclipse as good as here, and it’s just by chance that we have these ratios where like the sun and the moon could be the same size of a circle in the sky, said Lopez.
