Eclipse excitement takes over Daniel Island!
Daniel Islanders and visitors were surely a bit “moonstruck” on Monday as they turned to the skies to gaze at a celestial wonder that will not happen again in this area for another 35 years. Crowds gathered in multiple locations across the island to view the total solar eclipse, including Smythe Park, Children’s Park, the Daniel Island Club, and the MUSC Health Stadium, where NASA Astronaut Col. Douglas A. Wheelock visited with guests and offered real-time insights about the eclipse’s path across the country.
