A cloudy sky did not stop several Mayville State University students, faculty, and staff members from catching a glimpse of the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. Librarian Kelly Kornkven was able to get the solar eclipse viewing glasses ahead of time and the Mayville State Science Club helped distribute them.
The Science Club also shared viewing glasses with the students at May-Port CG’s Peter Boe, Jr. Elementary School, where students were able to witness the eclipse and a live science lesson under the sky.
“Although we were not in the path of totality,” said Dr. Michael Kjelland, Mayville State Assistant Professor of Biology, “it was interesting to observe this natural awe-inspiring phenomenon.”
