A solar eclipse is a rare and wonderful astronomical event, but what do you do when weather threatens to ruin the view? Students visiting the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh in 1994, when a string of clouds covered most of the sky and blocked the views of the solar eclipse. Some were left wondering if they would be able to see the event at all. Luckily, they found a way to view the eclipse at a museum that had some cool equipment. The video shows how these students managed to navigate the situation. Other retro finds include Tractor square dancing, amphibian graduates from Croaker College, and adorable pet BFFs from the 1980s.
