A total solar eclipse was visible in parts of the United States and Canada on April 8, 2024. In Derry and Raymond it was at 98% coverage. Not total but significantly more than the eclipse we were able to observe in 2017 which was at 62%. The most amazing thing was how light it still was with only 2% of the sun visible. One percent of the sun is brighter than 10,000 x the brightness of the full moon!!
Alex and I watched the eclipse from our house in Raymond
Rita was able to watch from work in Derry
They were able to take a picture using a special camera
