The second solar eclipse I witnessed was in Landstuhl, Germany...

The next morning at a rock overpass there were 100’s of flowers — I asked a local about them and apparently someone made the Darwin list during totality by driving
with his upper body out of the drivers window and swerving too (waaaaaaay too) far left, obviously without watching the road...

I’ve seen three but will miss these.

My old neighbor at last count had seen eight...but then he is an astrophysicist and had been up on Skylab multiple times and also on the Space Shuttle once (having gone up & back on the Challenger).

Thanks for the APOD list!

Is an annular eclipse anything to get excited about?
