August 21st, 2017 will see a total solar eclipse, and Bucknell astronomer Ned Ladd and a team of students led by Payton Johnson will head out to a campsite in either Tennessee or South Carolina (depending on whether conditions) where they can gather data about the event.
DP&S staff Diane Jakacki, Luyang Ren, Janine Glathar, Deb Balducci, and Emily Sherwood have provided support to build a WordPress site for the project, track the team’s social media posts via GPS, and track the eclipse’s path using ArcGIS.
