At the initial moment of totality Aug. 21, excitement quickly spread among Visitation Academy students gathered on Ritter Field as they observed the rare solar eclipse.
They whooped and hollered to celebrate the once-in-a-lifetime event. And they continued for the next minute and a half of the celestial light show ... well, the non-light show. Only the sun's corona was visible as the moon blotted out the rest, a black ball inside a pulsating circle of light.
