On April 8, 2024, midday skies darkened over Vermont as a total solar eclipse cast the shadow of the moon across a swath of North America. Vermont Public’s team of filmmakers spread out along the path of totality. Over the course of the day, we spoke to dozens of people: families, solo travelers, eclipse chasers, amateur astronomers, scientists and more. It was a day for everyone to see and feel the power of the cosmos, and gaze up in wonder at our universe.

See all of Vermont Public's coverage of the April 8 solar eclipse.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
