Once in a Lifetime

This is a photo taken with my cell phone from the Carrollton Greenbelt Park in the Dallas suburbs. It shows the moment at 1:42 pm on April 8th, 2024 when the eclipse of the sun became total. It is the first time in my life that I have seen it with my own eyes (assisted by eclipse lenses purchased at Walmart). I and my daughter watched it in the park. My wife watched it with her class at her middle school. It was a magical moment that we will probably never have the chance to see again.

  1. Cool that you were in the path of totality!

    • I got to see a 75% eclipse with a class I taught in 1982. I watched this one with my daughter from the park in our neighborhood. That’s a satisfying load of good fortune.

    You can see it again at the next eclipse, but you’d probably have to travel.
