Arkansas State University hosts solar eclipse event
JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) – Arkansas State University welcomed staff and their families on Monday for a special event centered around the much-anticipated solar eclipse.
Despite its modest scale, attendees hailed from various parts of the country to witness the celestial spectacle.
The Arkansas Biosciences Institute at A-State orchestrated the gathering, opting for a smaller affair due to the absence of heightened security measures on campus.
Travis Marsico, Director of the Arkansas Biosciences Institute, revealed that approximately 400 individuals dispersed across the campus grounds, eagerly anticipating the celestial phenomenon.
“This kind of natural phenomenon has been on our radar since 2017,” Marsico remarked, referring to the memorable partial eclipse experienced in the region.
David Maness, Planetarium Supervisor at the Memphis Museum of Science and History, likened the event to “the hand of God going up there and turning out the light.”
Having traveled from Memphis for the 2017 Solar Eclipse, Maness found no qualms in embarking on the journey once again to witness totality.

Alabama softball ace Jocelyn Briski is prepared for opportunity vs UCLA in WCWS
Alabama softball ace Jocelyn Briski is prepared for the Crimson Tide’s opportunity vs. UCLA at the Women’s College World Series.
It’s win or go home for half of the Women’s College World Series field on Friday, May 29.
In the nightcap of the WCWS elimination games is No. 8 UCLA vs. No. 5 Arkansas, two teams that suffered come-from-behind wins on May 28 by Alabama and Nebraska, respectively. The Bruins couldn’t take advantage of back-to-back home runs against Jocelyn Briski in the third, eventually falling 6-3 to the top-seeded Crimson Tide.

The Razorbacks’ loss was arguably more painful (or, at least, took longer). Arkansas twice led against Nebraska and USA Softball Player of the Year Jordy Frahm, but was unable to maintain either lead before Ava Kuszak walked the Razorbacks off in the bottom of the 10th inning in the 5-3 defeat.
Now the Bruins and Razorbacks both must gear up for a second game in as many days, with their WCWS hopes on the line. Here’s how to watch as UCLA takes on Arkansas in a pivotal win-or-go-home game:
