On August 21, 2017, I and millions of people across the United States had the opportunity to witness the unique and unforgettable moment when the Moon itself completely blocks the sun´s disc. The image above was captured in Stanley Lake, Idaho, during the partial phase after totality, where we could see the shadow of the Moon´s disc near the group of Sunspots – known as Active Regions (AR) – AR2671.
