Though ozone isn’t exclusively generated by life—ozone can also result from nitrogen and oxygen exposed to sunlight—

Huh? I thought (and Wikipedia agreed) that the primary source of ozone is stratospheric O2 being broken down into atomic oxygen which then sometomes combines with another O2 to make O3. Plant life just releases the O2.

The 2019 moon image is exactly what it looks like when the total eclipse happens. I was outside of Auburn, California in the 1990s, late at night, as the full moon was slowly and completely eclipsed by the Earth’s shadow. Once the shadow covered it completely, the burnt orange moon floated in the heavens, at once beautiful and alien. I explained it all to a 10 year old boy who could not believe his eyes.
