I won’t be posting for a few days. I’m Oregon bound to see the eclipse – a trip I’ve been planning for ten years! Fresh photos on return.

Image adapted from a plate in The Trouvelot Astronomical Drawings Atlas published 1882. The caption reads, “Total eclipse of the sun. Observed July 29, 1878, at Creston, Wyoming Territory.” Sadly, the folks in Creston are not in the path of totality this year. Image from the New York Public Library Digital Collections.
