Pretty Spectacular
A few minutes ago I witnessed the full total eclipse to my amazement. The photosphere was masked by the shadow of the Earth and the corona displayed like a ring of fire in the sky.The darkness of the moment was striking with the total absence of birds and squirrels and as the phase passed and the light again became apparent I went back inside to ponder the moment.
All in all it was a wonderful thing and I can fully understand the terror of ancient peoples who must have thought something horrible had gone amiss with the universe upon being immersed in the early afternoon darkness as I was a very few moments ago.
Quite a show !
