Way-Back Machine: A Realistic Eclipse

In honor of this weekend’s annular solar eclipse (going right over far-northern California! WOO!), I present something from the archives, possibly the first realistic depiction of a solar eclipse in art. Enjoy watching the eclipse, and remember kids, DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN without a proper solar filter or eclipse-rated eyewear.
