Hank Fridell is a member of the Black Hills Astronomical Society and a musician with the band DustUp. This week, he's also a solar eclipse tourist.
Fridell is in Texas for the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8. He joins "In the Moment" to share what he's hoping to see — and to preview the partial eclipse visible in South Dakota (weather permitting).
Plus, we hear the song "Witness" that he created after seeing the 2017 total solar eclipse in Nebraska.
