COSMIC MESSAGE

If the Sun is up but the sky is dark, and the horizon is bright all around, you might be in the Moon's shadow during a total solar eclipse. This panoramic view captures the all-sky Moon shadow from a farm in Shirley, Arkansas, during the April 8 total solar eclipse. For this location, totality lasted over four minutes, revealing the solar corona.
