The solar eclipse saw the opportunity for many different photo or optical testing. We set up a screen in the parking lot of the local arena and got camera obscura  pictures of the solar eclipse. As well as unfiltered photos of images in the sky ahead of the moon and clouds. The next eclipse is in south America in 2019, 2024 in eastern Canada, 2044 on the west coast  here.

On this Day: August 22nd 1953

The Devils Island penal colony is closed.
