Vicki Brown, Marie Rhodes, and Susie DePoy look up at the solar eclipse Monday, April 8 at the First Farmers Bank and Trust Amphitheater in Peru. The women said they wore red and green because the colors were supposed to appear different during the eclipse. This optical illusion is known as the Purkinje effect.
