Nice exterior GV of an observatory, one with a dome that houses a revolving telescope. On this day, people are gathering to watch an eclipse of the sun. MS as two young boys and a female enter a room. MS large telescope. MS of telescope peering out of slightly opened dome. Since this is an eclipse of the sun, its progress is observed by creating shadows on a white surface. View of the shadow image where the moon is covering a small portion of the sun. CU of man with glasses concentrating looking downward. MS same man adjusting telescope. Shot of eclipse shadow. CU of equipment. MS as African-American reporter interviews a Caucasian man while standing in front of the telescope, man mentions that a eclipse of this magnitude will not be seen for "many, many years".
