On April 8 of 2024, a total solar eclipse was observed over North America. This was the second total eclipse to travel across the United States in 7 years and the last until 2044. I traveled to Southern Illinois to position in the path of “Totality” and at a chance to capture the phenomenon that occur within the “Umbra”. Over 4 minutes were observed inside the moons shadow at my location. The sun was completely covered revealing the hidden corona. Allowing for a special experience to those lucky enough to have clear sky’s.
