Well, it is almost on us, the total eclipse that will arrive late in the morning on August 21^st. For those of you who have been away, Missouri State is hosting an eclipse event, which will be held at 10:30 AM in Plaster Stadium on Monday, August 21.

This week Becky Baker, who has worked tirelessly to arrange the activities, stops by to talk about everything that will happen. Listen in as we discuss the eclipse itself, the activities for Plaster stadium and the motivation to use this natural event as a way to celebrate science and our place in the universe.
