Kristin Skelton of North Andover, a sophomore at Pingree School in South Hamilton looks at the lunar eclipse through the telescope at the Merrimack College astronomy observatory on top of the Mendel Science Center. At one point, 30 people stood shoulder to shoulder in the dark observatory to catch a glimpse of the moon and other planets through the telescope with the help of Fred Sammartino of North Andover.
