Catholic schools and people in the Atlanta Archdiocese looked skyward on Aug. 21 to take in the eclipse.

We asked people to submit photos as they observed the historic event. We got more photos than we could put in the Aug. 24 issue, so here are some to enjoy

Great scenes from @HolySpiritPrep for the eclipse. The photography class built a special camera obscura for the event. pic.twitter.com/VevI9qJuxO
