I read the New York Times article, “How Do You Paint an Eclipse? Work Fast in the Dark”. This article gave the run down on how eclipses were captured in  the beginning of the 20th century. An artist by the name of Howard Russell Butler was invited to view the solar eclipse of 1918 in Oregon, he was then asked to capture the eclipse by painting it and this way turned out to be very effective because the equipment needed to capture solar eclipses had not yet been invented. I thought the article was quite interesting because it shows how much can change in just a hundred years, from paints to iPhone photos and Instagram filters, what a time to be alive!
