Reporter Kelsey Ray traveled up to Casper, Wyoming this weekend to camp out and watch the eclipse. She and her crew lucked into a beautiful spot to watch the event: Overlooking this valley, about 10 miles southwest of Casper. Their vantage point allowed them to both see the sun in totality and catch a full view of the umbra.
Here’s a west-facing video of the Wyoming sky at 4x normal speed. You can see the sky go from light to twilight to light again in less than a minute.
