2017 Solar Eclipse by Geoff Livingston (Web | Instagram | Twitter):

I traveled to Clemson, S.C. today to photograph the total solar eclipse for my company Legends of Learning. We took a class of Cobb County science students to see the eclipse. To photograph it, we set up a Nikon D810 with a Nikkor 200-500 mm f5.6 lens and shot with a DX crop for maximum size.

Northern Lights as seen on Flight AB3906 from Munich to Reykjavik during a G1 Solar Storm
