I stood in awe as the Moon eclipsed the Sun on April 8. I thought I was prepared for the experience. I was not.
The Moon’s shadow covers portions of Canada and the U.S. on April 8, 2024 as seen from the International Space Station. When this photo was taken, I stood agape in the eclipse’s path of totality. The view looks east. Maine and New Brunswick are centered under the Moon’s shadow. The Saint Lawrence Seaway is the wedge of water at left and slightly below the Moon’s shadow. The Atlantic Ocean occupies the top section of Earth. Photo courtesy of NASA.
Viewing totality of the eclipse was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Please read more in my most recent post on explore.org.
