I’ll try to explain it to you. One minute the sun is shining so bright that you can’t look at it, although things are getting darker, like someone is turning down the lights. And then, suddenly it is night time. Not the middle of the night, but night nonetheless with stars out and everything. And where the sun was is a white glow surrounding a pure black disc. It is quite impressive. I really enjoyed it.
Ditto on that.
GingisK: If one is well inside the path of totality, like I was a few hours ago, and the atmosphere is reasonably clear, it is QUITE an experience.
All: This Asst. U.S. Attorney could well have had a few thousand dollars, much of it non-refundable, tied up in his trip. Accomodations’ cost in locations along the path of totality were nearly off the charts. So... I kinda don’t blame him for trying...
