Minnesota college students traveling to path of totality for national eclipse project
MPR — A coalition of Minnesota college students will head to Indiana to be part of a national project for the solar eclipse. This includes students from St. Cloud State University, the University of Minnesota, St. Catherine University, and Fond Du Lac Tribal and Community College.
They will launch weather balloons to gather data about how the atmosphere changes during an eclipse. St. Cloud State Planetarium Director and atmospheric science professor Rachel Humphrey joined MPR News Host Cathy Wurzer to talk about the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
