- Eclipse viewing for the Rolla community, 12:30-3 p.m. Monday, April 8, in the parking lot next to the Missouri S&T Observatory, located at 1550 N. Bishop Avenue. The moon will begin to move between Earth and the sun at approximately 12:39 p.m. local time, reaching the greatest coverage at 1:57 p.m. and ending at 3:14 p.m. Eclipse glasses will be required to safely observe the sun. A limited number of eclipse glasses will be available at the event.
The eclipse
The eclipse on Monday, April 8, will be the last total solar eclipse visible in Missouri until the year 2505. Only a narrow region, the path of totality, will see a total eclipse. Rolla is approximately 50 miles outside of the path of totality for the eclipse, and will experience a near-total eclipse with the moon covering 98 percent of the sun.
Starting Monday, March 25, both libraries will provide a limited number of free eclipse glasses at events. The glasses are necessary to safely look at the sun during the eclipse on Monday, April 8. The glasses are funded in part by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation through the Solar Eclipse Activities for Libraries program and Missouri S&T.
Event organizers
Jackson Loehr, a senior in biological sciences and mechanical engineering from Fenton, Missouri, and president of the S&T Astronomical Research Society, and Ally Hellweg, library assistant at the Rolla Public Library, are participating in NASA’s Eclipse Ambassador Program. The national program provides training and resources for organizers to create fun, educational eclipse events for their communities.

Reinforcing the offensive line has been a priority for the New Orleans Saints, who opened free agency by signing former Buffalo Bills left guard David Edwards to a four-year, $61 million contract. Even though the franchise has allocated plenty of resources to its offensive line, the free agency addition won’t stop them from seeking more offensive line talent.
The franchise is focused on protecting second-year quarterback Tyler Shough. If a starting offensive lineman is injured, someone must step up. Currently, Asim Richards is the only reliable backup for left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. or right tackle Taliese Fuaga. On the interior, Dillon Radunz would make sense as a reliable replacement if someone were to go down between Edwards, center Erik McCoy, and right guard Cesar Ruiz.
Drafting a promising offensive lineman in 2026 makes sense, as the Saints hold five Day 3 picks. It’s unlikely general manager Mickey Loomis will spend early draft capital on a tackle, but a late pick is logical. Missouri’s Keagen Trost, projected for Day 3, could fit this need.
Trost, 25, recently worked out privately with the Saints, a source told Saints Wire. The Missouri standout earned a 92.4 Pro Football Focus grade in 13 games last season, ranking No. 1 among 632 eligible collegiate tackles. He also allowed just one sack in 834 total snaps.
Trost’s high grades project him in the fifth round, and he offers versatility, including potential to move inside. At his pro day, he measured 6-foot-4 and 313 pounds. The main issue is his 32 3/8-inch arms, which are shorter than teams prefer for starting tackles. He has extensive SEC experience and strong college production to back it up.
Picks No. 150 and 172 in the fifth round are logical choices for New Orleans to consider selecting Trost. Multiple teams have shown interest in him; he had five pre-draft visits and recently held virtual meetings with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, and Atlanta Falcons, according to a source. While there are many highly regarded offensive linemen in this class, Trost’s versatility appears to set him apart from the others.
