#eclipseatmu

Today's the day! Not only is it the first day of classes here at #Mizzou, but we are also counting down to #Eclipse2017. Here in Columbia, we will have about 2.5 minutes of totality between 1:12 and 1:15 pm. This image is a photograph of an eclipse taken in 1919. Arthur Eddington and other scientists were able to prove parts of Einstein's theory of relativity based on observations of the 1919 eclipse. This image is part of our Eclipse 2017 digital exhibit at exhibits.lib.missouri.edu.⠀ ⠀ #eclipse #greatamericaneclipse #solareclipse #pathoftotality #eclipseatMU #mizzoueclipse #history #histsci #astronomy #specialcollections #rarebooks #universityofmissouri #missouri #libraries #librariesofinstagram #mizzou #columbiamo #ifttt
