Explanation: If the Sun is up but the sky is dark and the horizon is bright all around, you might be standing in the Moon's shadow during a total eclipse of the Sun. In fact, the all-sky Moon shadow shown in this composited panoramic view was captured from a farm near Shirley, Arkansas, planet Earth. The exposures were made under clear skies during the April 8 total solar eclipse. For that location near the center line of the Moon's shadow track, totality lasted over 4 minutes. Along with the solar corona surrounding the silhouette of the Moon planets and stars were visible during the total eclipse phase. Easiest to see here are bright planets Venus and Jupiter, to the lower right and upper left of the eclipsed Sun.

What is almost as unusual is seeing a Turkish flag in Arkansas.
It’s called ‘replacement’. Ask Ted Kennedy,
Confirmed. NASA found Turkey in Arkansas.
Wow.
There could be billions of planets in the universe, and possibly many of them have life. But it’s a safe bet that no other planet has a Shirley, Arkansas. So “planet Earth” was unnecessary.
What if there are so many planets that there are 11,235 Shirley, Arkansas?
You can’t be serious.
Of course I was not serious. In these “explanation” writeups they often say “planet Earth” in the location description. It is like astronomer humor.
Aha. I got it now. I did not put two and two together. I was taught it is five.
I think my problem is I expect everyone to read my mind. If you can’t read my mind, IT’s YOUR FAULT!!!
