One year ago on August 21, 2017, the continental United States experienced the first total solar eclipse in 99 years. At NASA’s Johnson Space Center on that day, employees joined citizen-scientists across the country in creating imagery unique to the event. Many used protective eclipse glasses, and others used pinhole cameras to view the eclipse, which was used to make this image. In Houston, like some other areas, the eclipse was a partial one and lasted 2 hours, 59 minutes, reaching its maximum level of 70 percent at 1:16 p.m. CDT.
