Top 10 Best Pictures of The Nashville Eclipse

The great America eclipse that swept across the American continent yesterday afternoon passed right over the heart of Nashville – the first time our city has witnessed a total solar eclipse in over 500 years.

The last total eclipse seen in Nashville, TN was back in July 29, 1478.

It’s estimated that over 500,000 people traveled to the Nashville region to witness this historic event. Here are the 10 best shots of yesterday’s solar phenomena that we found posted online;

#5 The ring every girl wants;

Today I was stressed. Not with school, but with capturing a once in a lifetime moment. I wanted to film it, but I also wanted to live it. My day was made when I forgot about the camera for about a minute and just laid down to take in a moment. . . . Timelapse soon. #practicallyfriday @_smplife_

#3 Ring of fire;

No words • I’m sure you are going to see a lot of these today. But this one was special. Hours of planning, scouting, and driving went into creating this photograph. It was on the verge of being completely ruined by clouds. But thankfully it all worked out. • #fujifilmx_us #xt2 #xf50140 #totality #eclipse2017 #eclipse #tinlid #moodygrams #whpadventure
