Total perfection: Chasing solar eclipse totality

For those lucky enough to have clear weather on Monday, Aug. 21, the path of totality for the Great American Eclipse gave sky watchers around two minutes of undiluted perfection. While the direct shadow of the moon did cross a small patch of Montana, those who wanted to see the real power of a total eclipse of the sun had to travel to get to it. And many Montanans chose to do just that.
