Hundreds gather for eclipse

People line up to view the eclipse of the sun Monday at Crescent Bay, where the National Park Service set up a special viewing, complete with an educational tent, special solar telescopes and viewing glasses and filters. More than 220 had taken advantage of the NPS offering, a worker there said shortly after the peak of the eclipse. Although the temperature dropped a few degrees, darkness was barely noticeable even with nearly 90 percent of the sun's light blocked by the moon. Readers have shared their eclipse photos with The Star, many of which won't translate well on newsprint, but we'll put them online at grandcoulee.com. - Scott Hunter photo
