CELESTIAL PHENOMENON. On Aug. 21 the rain clouds parted so that Eau Claire could enjoy a view of this year’s remarkable solar eclipse. From our vantage point, about 84 percent of the sun was covered by the moon. Above: Several fans of the sun got in the spirit at the Children’s Museum of Eau Claire’s eclipse block party.
