DAVID BARON ON AMERICAN ECLIPSE

In American Eclipse, on a scorching July afternoon in 1878, at the dawn of the Gilded Age, the moon’s shadow descended on the American West, darkening skies from Montana Territory to Texas. This rare celestial event?a total solar eclipse?offered a priceless opportunity to solve some of the solar system’s most enduring riddles, and it prompted a clutch of enterprising scientists to brave the wild frontier in a grueling race to the Rocky Mountains. Join us for a discussion with acclaimed science journalist David Baron who is long fascinated by eclipses, on this installment of Leonard Lopate atr Large.
