Photos of the eclipse from Crossville August 21, 2017

The total eclipse has come and gone now, but it was spectacular and made a vast majority of folks stop and watch a shared experience that for many they may only get to see once in their lifetime.

The following series of photos shows the early partial period moving to totality and the diamond ring effect that is the very flashy part of the eclipse for most folks.  Many cheered as the eclipse went total with the sun completely hidden behind the moon allowing the sun's corona to be seen and the darkness to come at the odd time of day.

Near the start of the eclipse

The moon covering about 1/2 the sun

Note the crescent shadow effect under the trees.

Clouds passed over the eclipse from time to time

The sun is almost completely covered.

There will be another eclipse in 2024 and it will be partial for Crossville and total to the west of us.
