Are you ready for the 2024 Solar Eclipse?
Villagers are very fortunate to be directly aligned with the path of the upcoming total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024. In preparation for this extraordinary occasion, the HSV Camera Club and Village Stargazers will run a series of articles covering what is a solar eclipse, the phases and timing, and observable effects, including temperature drops, nightfall, running shadows, and bird and insect behaviors, where to view, how to prepare, some dos and don’ts in viewing, and how to observe and capture the event through binoculars, telescopes, and cameras.
So, keep in touch with our weekly coverage as the total solar eclipse of 2024 approaches. As an appetite teaser, below is a photograph of the 2017 total eclipse taken by Peter Trabant of the HSV Camera Club. Trabant took this photo from Cape Girardeau, MO, and it was first published in the Village Voice in August of that year.
