We’re sorry to report that Frank Drake, pioneer of radio astronomy and SETI, and for 20 years professor of astronomy at Cornell, passed away today at the age of 92. A tribute to Frank’s contributions to Arecibo and Cornell radio astronomy will be organized at a later date.

@CREarle Hi Corey! We had a query about this eclipse photo. it’s definitely the Arts Quad in 1925, but do we know anything else, like who the photographer was?

Was reminded of this discussion again this morning - anyone I know at @CornellAstro still like to confirm that this looks a lot like the Cornell Campus, which I think make's it 1925 not 1915 (thanks to @Wikipedia and @StellariumDev for helping work out the date of the eclipse).
