This was totality — photographed from my parents’ yard in Southern Illinois during the April 8, 2024 eclipse.

The sun’s corona was blazing, and we could even see flares along the edge.

A moment of awe, silence, and cosmic perspective.

@scottkiss Amazing right? I didn't expect all the other sensory effects - frogs and crickets, it got chillier, people were hooting and hollering... the whole thing is just epic

And amazing pic
