A rare solar eclipse will cross the United States on April 8.
  • Inmate Jeremy Zielinski and five others successfully sued the state to view Monday's solar eclipse. 
  • "It's impossible to overstate how sublime it is," Zielinski told Business Insider through his attorney.
  • Last week, the state corrections department agreed to let the group of men observe the eclipse. 

One of the six incarcerated men who sued New York state for the chance to view Monday's solar eclipse hailed the group's success as "sublime."
