A beautiful sunset over MSU’s Chadwick Lake in the university’s athletics district reminds us that there is both a partial solar eclipse and total lunar eclipse on the horizon this month. On March 13-14, skywatchers across the U.S. can view the “blood moon” and, on March 29, early risers can see a partially eclipsed sun emerging dramatically at sunrise.
