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.

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