CBS News’ ‘Photos of the Week’ spotlights eclipse views and Colombia earthquake search

CBS News’ Sunday Morning released a photo gallery on August 16, compiling striking images captured during the week of August 10, 2026. The gallery, “Photos of the Week,” brings together multiple visual accounts of events ranging from major global astronomy to urgent disaster response.

Among the most prominent themes in the selection is a total solar eclipse, presented through images intended to show the scale and atmosphere of the event as it unfolded. The gallery frames the eclipse as a rare, shared moment observed from locations around the world during the August 10 timeframe described in the program’s recap.

The gallery also turns to public safety and humanitarian needs in the aftermath of an earthquake in Colombia. CBS’ description says the images include a “desperate search for survivors,” underscoring the immediate, on-the-ground work carried out by responders and the families affected as authorities and rescue teams try to locate people in damaged areas.

In addition to these two central topics, the “Photos of the Week” collection is described as featuring “some of the most evocative images” captured during the reporting week, indicating that other scenes were included as part of the same editorial roundup. The gallery’s emphasis, however, stays anchored in moments that mobilize attention beyond a single country or community.

By compiling still images rather than extended coverage, the Sunday Morning segment uses the visual record to document both extraordinary natural events and the human consequences of sudden disasters. In the eclipse images, the focus is on observation and global attention; in Colombia, the focus is on rescue efforts and the immediate stakes for survival and recovery.

The Sunday Morning gallery was posted on CBS News on August 16, as part of its weekly review format. Viewers are directed to the online gallery for the selected images, with each image credit attributed to CBS News within the page’s presentation.

Why It Matters

  • The eclipse images reflect how rare astronomical events draw broad public attention and shared observation across communities.
  • Including Colombia earthquake search images keeps focus on emergency response and the human need for timely rescue operations.
  • A weekly photo roundup can help the public track major events quickly without relying on long-form reporting.
  • Documenting disaster conditions through photography can support accountability by preserving a visual record of impacts and response conditions during the early phase of an incident.
