Here comes the moon! April 8 gave the United States its second total solar eclipse in seven years, blocking out the sun from Texas to Maine. Baltimore and D.C. only saw a partial eclipse—but that didn't stop the Johns Hopkins community from coming out in full force to witness the celestial spectacle.
