On August 21, the world witnessed a celestial spectacle like no other - the Total Eclipse of 2017. As darkness engulfed the sky, millions gathered to witness the mesmerizing event known as totality. The Diamond Ring and the End of Totality marked a breathtaking moment when a brilliant burst of light emerged from behind the moon, leaving everyone in awe. Even amidst their busy schedules, individuals like Jacob Cohen, Ames Chief Scientist at Ames Research Center, took a break to capture their own view of this extraordinary phenomenon. At Ames Vertical Gun Range too, people paused from their duties to gaze up at the eclipse over Ames Research Center. But August 21 holds significance beyond just this modern-day marvel. It takes us back to historical events that unfolded on this very date years ago. Lady Elizabeth Fielding and William Henry Fox Talbot were pioneers who left an indelible mark on photography during North Fort's Interior Angle in 1860.

These images serve as reminders of significant chapters that shaped our past. The Exterior North Fort Peiko River Showing English troops and Taku North Fort Immediately Capture by Felice Beato depict scenes filled with intensity and valor. And yet again, Rear Taku North Fort Capture Showing Retreat reminds us of the sacrifices made during those times.

Whether we look up at the sky or delve into history books, let us cherish these remarkable stories woven around this date for generations to come.
