For the second time in less than seven years, we’ve experienced a total solar eclipse in southern Illinois.
Visitors came to Carbondale from different parts of the U.S. and the world.
The School of Forestry at SIU-Carbondale had a table at the Crossroads Astronomy Science and Technology Expo inside Banterra Center Monday.
WSIU's Brad Palmer talked with the school’s Rebecca Kagaris about a social survey the department had people fill out to learn some information about who came to the area to view the eclipse.
