Solar eclipse dazzles crowd of more than 1,000 at Sac State watch party
Little Aminah Ellis awoke at 3 a.m. on Saturday, anticipating a family excursion to Sacramento State to watch the moon slip in front of the sun, leaving a fiery orange rim in the sky.
“I want to see a solar eclipse!” Aminah, 7, exclaimed as she and her mother and brother waited to witness an astronomical marvel.
More than 1,000 people visited Sac State to see the annular solar eclipse as part of a viewing party that also included shows at the Planetarium and arts and crafts activities for children.
