Eclipse-if you can't come

I have attached a link for those of you that won’t be able to view the eclipse this next week. NASA has awarded a grant to multiple Universities and High Schools across the country to be involved. Engineering students from Montana State University designed most of the equipment and then hosted students from across the country to travel to Bozeman to learn how to assemble and operate the equipment. They will be launching balloons along the path of the eclipse to attain altitudes from 75,000 to 100,000 feet with real time video cameras attached to view the eclipse. I watched the Montana State University students and their advisors at my airport earlier this summer when they launched two test balloons west of Rexburg, Idaho and tracked them. It was heartening to see students actively involved in their learning and sharing it with others.
