It’s hard to believe that it was a year ago today that the United States gazed to the sky to experience totality. It was a moment where people literally stoped, looked up, and gazed in wonder at a rare natural phenomena that sparked in many an awareness of the supernatural. The Catholic Astronomer put together an archive of posts on the 2017 Eclipse. Take some time today and do what St. Ignatius of Loyola would call a repetition: Prayerfully reentering a past experience of God to seek deeper meaning and understanding.

Delight in this prayer and happy Tuesday! Click here to look through the 2017 Eclipse Archive!

This stunning image of totality, along with the other images in this post, were taken by Michael Cain form the Chippewa Valley Astronomical Society. I want to thank him for allowing me to use these image.

One of Anne’s first attempts at solar photography. Beautiful prominence at 2:00!
