Happy Friday, Huskies! Wednesday’s partial solar eclipse hit its peak over Boston at 1:55 p.m., covering about 16% of the sun. Nuba by Nubian Markets, a Black-owned West African restaurant serving bowls and sandwiches, opened on the first floor of LightView on the Boston campus. And at Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary, environmental science student Adian Doherty wrapped up a co-op with the Massachusetts Audubon Society.
