Arts & Sciences Spring 2024

The Great American Eclipse On April 8, the Syracuse University campus had the rare treat of being in the path of a total solar eclipse. The last time Syracuse was close to the zone of totality was nearly a century ago on January 24, 1925, when it passed just south of the city.

Check out the sights and sounds of the eclipse on the Quad, plus some fun trivia in this video.

Always up for a photo, Otto demonstrates proper eye wear for safe viewing of the eclipse.

Excitement grows along with the crowds as totality begins filling in, with complete darkness starting at 3:23 p.m. and lasting 1 minute and 24 seconds.
