Several media outlets spanning beyond New England, including the Portland Press Herald, Thrillist, Popular Mechanics, TechRadar and Ontario’s InsideHalton.com, highlighted the livestream of the April 8 total solar eclipse from the University of Maine High Altitude Ballooning program and included a link to the video.
