A buzz of expectation filled the large red tent set up in front of the visitor's center at Panama's Center of Space Sciences over the weekend as crowds prepared for a once-in-a-lifetime viewing of a solar eclipse. Sarigua National Park, one of the driest spots in Panama, is probably one of the best places to see the astrological event during the country's rainy season.

"And I'm super excited to hopefully get to see one today." Andre Rodriguez is an astronomy enthusiast. Credit: Michael Fox/The World Skies were cloudy but the sun kept popping in and out. And then — first contact — the moment when the moon begins to carve its way across the sun. One person saw it. Then another. Everyone threw on their safety glasses and looked to the sky.“We're so excited,” said Madelaine Rojas, the country's first female astrophysicist and the founder of the Panama Center of Innovation in Space Sciences, CENACEP, a new nonprofit group dedicated to promoting space science across Panama. She had been organizing this event for months. Madelaine Rojas is Panama's first female astrophysicist and the founder of the Panama Center of Innovation in Space Sciences.

The skies and the celestial bodies were the most important for them,” she said of the event's significance. But Rojas is also looking toward the future. She said they want to convert Panama into a hub for science and astronomy and are taking strides to make that happen. Earlier this year, Roja's Space Sciences Center signed a deal with Ecuador's Cotopaxi Universidad to help it develop AstroTourism, or astronomy tourism in the country. The focus will highlight the country's ethnocultural relationship with astronomy: ancient rock carvings, archeological sites, and Indigenous understanding of the skies, past and present.

In between the north and the south. This allowed us to host the Latin American Astronomical Olympics." The event is like an international science fair for the stars and it took place in mid-October. Hugo Fares, 17, was among the students selected from across Latin America who attended. “The event was really cool,” said the long-haired student with glasses, who wore a yellow Brazilian Astronomy Olympics shirt. “Because we got to meet people from several countries, from Argentina to Colombia. And it was great getting to share experiences.” Hugo Fares, 17, takes a look into the telescope. Credit: Michael Fox/The World Back under the eclipse, clouds slid past. The moon was about halfway across the sun. And then came the race — the country's first one held during an eclipse. It was only about a mile long, with a couple dozen people lined up, adults and children, alike. Medals were handed out by the first active astronaut ever to visit Panama, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev. He participated in the activities throughout the week."Keep running,” he said through a translator into Spanish. “Sports are important. As are the astronomy olympics.” Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev, from Russia, watches the eclipse with Panamanians. Credit: Michael Fox/The World It was almost time. The crowd congregated around a pair of telescopes set up on the dry salt marsh, pointed toward the sun. The clouds kept getting in the way. But then, they slid aside. And the moon moved into full position in front of the sun. Cheers erupted from the crowd.The moment they'd been waiting for. Everyone stared up with their eclipse glasses over their eyes.

It doesn't block the sun completely, but the moon creates what looks like a ring of fire. "The temperature has changed completely,” said Luis Rivera, a visitor in the crowd. “It's gotten chillier, with the sun behind the moon. And the eclipse is incredible. It's just incredible.”Astronomy buff André Rodriguez was floored."It's incredible," he said. "You can see it even better than expected. It's amazing. And so great to share this moment with all of these people who also love astronomy.” For many there, this was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Gregory Guerrero adjusts the telescope.

We're here with a cosmonaut, people from different countries, Brazil, journalists. It's really exciting to be here." And, he said, he hoped it was a sign of big things to come.

Joining today: digital modeler for Blue Sky Studios, teacher and panelist on Diverse Toons, Andre Rodriguez It’s easy to imagine a story: the decisions, mistakes, and sacrifices that can drive someone. And so much harder to survive, forgive, outlast the ‘character’ we can become in another person’s life.But what happens when the world we live in decides that for us? When we try to escape the lines, the tales that other people would define us by? How do we, as Andre would say, ‘find our square’—that one specific place where who we are resides? And when do we fight back?As it turns out, even our conversations about imagined worlds are bound by the lives we’ve had. And that the fictions we invent or act upon can often become too real.-JShow NotesFor some of Andre’s most recent work, you can visit his personal site, hear the new album, Ravenous by BTB, that he co-produced, or watch the official trailer for Spies in Disguise.You can also speak with him in person at the next BlerdCityCon on July 13th as a part DiverseToons’ “Black in Animation” panel.Like what you hear and want to show your support?

Coat Check Girl is an L.A. based rock band that caught our attention recently for their ability to blend alternative, metal and hard rock into a sound that grabs you and holds your attention. CCG is made up of brothers Andre and Alejandro Rodriguez, Toby Harmans and Allan Carnevalle, and they have taken their passion for music and experiences of growing up amongst political unrest and created a sound that I can only explain as unhinged ferociousness. I was able to speak with lead vocalist Andre Rodriguez recently about the band's beginnings and their innovative debut album. Be sure to check out their new video for 'Lose Control' on BlankTV, and give them some likes on Facebook. http://youtu.be/KCrnvElHQfE https://www.facebook.com/officialcoatcheckgirl
