With less than a month to go before the 2024 total solar eclipse, astrophotographers Andrew McCarthy and Dan Stein have released a gigapixel image of last year's annular solar eclipse.
The Eclipse Company is ramping up its support of those preparing to watch North America's total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 through a new app that helps viewers plan their route, viewing location, and more.
While the hotel brand Days Inn by Wyndham is offering a pair of photographers "2024's hottest gig" and $10,000 by flying them up in a private helicopter to capture the total solar eclipse in April, American company Delta Air Lines is selling a special flight to view the eclipse for other umbraphiles, a fancy word for someone who chases eclipses.
Two lucky photographers will be paid $5,000 each and fly in a private helicopter to capture the total solar eclipse when it takes place in April.
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible for a large portion of the United States. A new map created by The Planetary Society and The Eclipse Company will help photographers select the best location from which to see it.
