This past summer we enjoyed a rare total eclipse in the US. Carbondale was one place where people could observe the event (although ended up being a bit cloudy). But in any case, I reported on the astronomical event here.
I also attempted an amateur video taping with a digital camera and a pair of glasses. There are better videos out there, but this one is short.
The next one is in 2024 and will pass through Carbondale again!
