A total eclipse of the sun occurred across the U.S. on Monday, August 21, and several EMJ team members captured photos of the historic event.
During the solar eclipse, 14 states across the U.S. were in the path of totality and experienced more than two minutes of darkness in the middle of the day—with a partial eclipse viewable all across North America. The eclipse spanned the country from west to east, giving many the opportunity to see the event in ranging forms, from totality to a mid-day crescent.
The path of totality hit just north of our Chattanooga headquarters, where Marketing Coordinator Debbie Finley took the below photo in Dayton, Tenn.
