Photo By Solar And Lunar Eclipses Assignment winner Suzanne Mathia

“The Great American Eclipse” is almost here! On Monday, August 21, those in the 70-mile-wide path of totality will experience a total solar eclipse beginning in Oregon at 10:16 a.m. PDT and ending in South Carolina at 2:48 p.m. EDT. This event is the inspiration for our newest photography assignment, which will run for two weeks. Learn How To Photograph A Solar Eclipse with our handy guide, then submit your best photos of past solar and lunar eclipses, as well as images you captured of the eclipse on the 21st. Deadline to submit images is August 30. —Kristan Ashworth, Managing Editor
