On 8 April, 2024, a total solar eclipse occurred whose umbra (the dark center of the eclipse shadow) crossed North America.
The totality of the eclipse (when the Sun was completely covered by the Moon) could be seen at 90% around 11:30 AM Nova Atlium time (CST) over the skies of Nova Atlium and De Las Mitras and 100% at Los Olivos, Kingdom of Atlia. Solar eclipse glasses were purchased by Prince Luis to appreciate the astronomical event and were distributed to citizens who requested them, in addition to having manufactured the “AEIA” Shadow Projector (or informally known as Video Caelo II, in honor of the first solar eclipse shadow projector that was made in Atlia to see the Solar Eclipse of 2017). The eclipse could also be recorded in other parts of the empire, such as at 3:22 PM ADT over the Surastrian Territory of Appledore-Lutecia (today County of Appledore-Lutecia in Nordastria, United Kingdom of Esteleria).
At such circumstances, the Imperial Throne established the Agencia Espacial Imperial de Atlia (Atlian Imperial Space Agency) (AEIA) on the same day through Imperial Proclamation No. 18, which “will be responsible for the promotion and registration of astrological events to be observed around the Empire, as well as explore ways to take the name of the Atlian Empire to the stars.”
In addition to observing and recording the eclipse over Imperial territory, the AEIA collaborated with the North Sea Air and Space Command and NGC Aerospace of the Tozarian Empire by coordinating observations of the eclipse passage and cooperating in obtaining images of the astrological event in what was called the “Northern Star Program”
