THE DETROIT NEWS, Michigan, January 24, 1925 

* Total eclipse of the Sun 
* Solar eclipse - Moon - Earth
 

This 18 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page that include: "THRONGS SEE MOON ROB SUN OF SKY THRONE", "On Roof Tops, in Fields and in Cars Detroit Sees Eclipse; Visibility Good" and more. Loads of text, too much to photograph all.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day throughout. Light browning, a little margin wear, otherwise good condition.

wikipedia notes: A total solar eclipse occurred on January 24, 1925. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across the surface of the Earth, while a partial solar eclipse will be visible over a region thousands of kilometers wide.
