Total Eclipse of the Sun: April 8, 2024, Berlin, Vermont
8 April 2024
I've neglected this blog shamefully, but what better way to restart it than with pictures of a total eclipse.
It begins… Note two sunspots, one just above the center and one in the upper left.
More is gone.
The moon is about to swallow one of the sunspots.
A crescent sun, with the second sunspot about to go.
A thin crescent sun.
Totality! Note the solar prominences around the sun, especially on the left side.
A diamond ring, with small stones… (Update: I've since learned that these are called Baily's Beads.)
A post-totality picture, with the sun smiling for the great show it gave us.
