The coast-to-coast eclipse paid a visit to Russellville, Kentucky, Monday afternoon, greeted by a throng of observers, including a group from Temple University who launched a balloon-mounted camera to capture the event.
NewsWorks Tonight host Dave Heller spoke with Abby Sydnes, the lead student on the project, just after the eclipse.
