Georgia Gwinnett College students watch an eclipse of the sun from GGC’s Lawrenceville campus.

The solar eclipse that will occur on April 8 will be one of the most visible yet, and Georgia Gwinnett College is inviting the public to come to the Lawrenceville campus and view it.

A solar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon and Earth align perfectly so that the moon completely blocks the sun’s light. According to NASA, the eclipse on April 8 is special because it will be the most visible yet, crossing many states with a slice of total darkness.
