ECLIPSE CONFERENCE: There was a gathering of eclipse scientists, educators and promoters this past weekend in Carbondale, IL. There were some really great presentations, mostly informative, others entertaining. This YouTube link includes the full 9-1/2 hour conference. For your convenience, here is a listing of speakers, with video start times indicated.
NOTE: The video is 9:25:14 long so use the mouse to slide to an approximate starting time for each presentation, and then use left and right arrow keys to move forward and backward in five second increments to find more precise times. Otherwise, it’s difficult navigating a YouTube video of that length.
