Total Solar Eclipse April 8, 2024
The total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 passed across North America, with the path of totality stretching from Mexico through the central/eastern United States and into Canada. It was notable for its long duration, nearly twice as long as the 2017 U.S. eclipse, and several club members traveled to the path of totality to capture these beautiful images of this celestial event.
