Words from me on #Eclipse24 in the London Review of Books : lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/… (Somewhat more coherent than my original response: x.com/chrislintott/s…)

One week ago, tens of thousands of excited eclipse chasers flocked to Illinois state parks to view the April 8 total solar eclipse over southern Illinois. These are some of our favorite photo memories from the day. #ILEclipse2024 #Eclipse24

IDNR staff welcomed visitors from all over the state, the nation, and the world for this incredible celestial event. #ILEclipse2024 #Eclipse24

This was my second #Eclipse24

The feeling during totality is so awesome and primal!

Want to scream out of amazement and a little dread because if that sun doesn’t come back….

Here are a few photos

More than 30 Illinois state parks and historic sites were in the path of totality in southern Illinois. #ILEclipse2024 #Eclipse24

Preparation was the name of the game for the total eclipse in Texas. Thanks to our crews out in force, drivers making plans ahead of time and cloudy skies, traffic impacts were mitigated. Learn more about TxDOT’s response to the #Eclipse24 : ow.ly/728T50RcCQT #TxDOTNewsroom

Back from an incredible overnight wl our fifth grade students for the eclipse. We experienced 3.5 minutes of totality & I don’t have the words to do it justice. No pics but I “took a picture in my mind” as mom would say. Grateful & in awe.💛☀️🌑 #Eclipse24 #totality

The Acuative Global Operations Center in Cleveland, OH was fortunate to be in the path of eclipse totality on Monday. Our team was able to witness a once in a lifetime experience and enjoy a spectacular event. We also made sure the lights were still on at our NOC! 🌒 #eclipse24

I know, another #eclipse24 image.
My most exciting image, for me, in shooting #eclipse24 . Capturing these solar flares at/near totality was an unexpected treat. Sony A7CII

Well, our very own Jaron Williams, from the Mineola Maintenance office, took some AMAZING photos during yesterday's event. Thank you Jaron for sharing some of these with us! #Eclipse24 #TXEclipse2024 TxDOT
