A contingent of NAU folk went to Roswell, New Mexico for the Annular Eclipse of Oct. 14th.<\/p>\n

Mary Lara<\/strong> (NAU Space Grant AIMER coordinator), Ed Anderson<\/strong> and his wife, Margie McCullough<\/strong>, arrived a couple of days ahead of time and worked with the 3rd \u2013 5th grade classes at Del Norte Elementary School. The students did some hands-on modelling of the Sun-Earth-Moon system to learn about the phases of the moon and eclipses.
