Not one to pass up a once-in-a-lifetime event, especially one involving science, Dave Schlom, host of NSPR’s astronomy and science program Blue Dot, was in Kimberly, Oregon, on Monday to witness the total solar eclipse. Dave graciously agreed to provide some narration of the spectacle, which is interspersed with live safety warnings.
