FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE: Middle Georgians grab a glimpse of solar eclipse

Eyes were on the sky – hopefully wearing the proper protection – Monday afternoon as Middle Georgians stepped outside to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse. Though the midstate was not in the eclipse’s “path of totality,” the partial eclipse was still a rare sight to see, as folks shared special viewing glasses and one Dublin student snuck a peek from the school bus. There will not be another eclipse in the continental United States until 2044. For more, including a pic from photographer Zach Dawson, who traveled to Arkansas for the total eclipse, see page 8.
