Campus has an observatory? ππAdded:
My name's Brenna Peever. I'm [music] a PhD student here at the University of Idaho, and I'm studying planetary science, and specifically orbital dynamics of the solar system. Oh, it is so [music] much fun to do.
Um I took an astrophysics class a few years ago, and it was just so fascinating learning about the planets in general, but you can get a lot [music] of really interesting information um from very far away, and I thought that was fascinating. A few weeks ago we came out to watch the lunar eclipse [music] here, um and we got one or two very beautiful pictures through the telescope, and um got to see the eclipse all the way through to totality, and it was so much fun.
