Monday’s solar eclipse proved to be a big hit around Barnesville, especially on the Gordon campus where Dr. Richard Schmude (foreground) had set up a Sunspotter device which students, faculty and visitors flocked around. You can see the percentage of the blocked sun on the interior of the device.
Armed with eclipse glasses, people took to open spaces all over town to watch the rare event.
