Nice.
A little fountain became a river, and there was light and the sun and much water: this river is Esther, whom the king married and made queen; and the two dragons are myself and Haman.
If you think of the eclipse path as a river of missing light, with its banks as the levels of "wet"...
NASAs eclipse "live" feed has been interesting as they've been rolling through their totality coverage locations one at a time after the fact.
What stands out as these places go in and out of totality -- kind of like bookends -- is the crowds screaming with excitement, *especially* when the diamond rings appear.
So there's been a lot of "O WOW, there's the diamond ring!!!" from the reporterettes.

Another thing re this eclipse in Pisces and of the people needing fish (representing sustenance, nourishment, support), and of Mordecai's dream according to this material in the LXX,
There's the detail about the alternate, word play translation of Megillat Esther as the "Revealing of the Hidden", because here's this river of hidden light [××ר × ×Ą×Ēר]*, flowing swiftly by today with all of the "Wows" from the women upon seeing diamond rings, as I had described upstream.
And the broader context of the total solar eclipse is that it's the second one, completing the 7-years "X" over America aka Columbia, the "dove".
In the NT, a dove is a peristera ĪÎĩĪΚĪĪÎĩĪáŊą -- of "uncertain derivation",
but it wouldn't surprise me if it concerns [ĪÎĩĪáŋĖ ] Esther [ÎĪθΎĪ], the star [áž°ĖĪĪÎŽĪ] of the show.
Kind of like the little Columbia dove-of-progress that represents manifest (revealed) destiny. She's even got a rope, and is currently on loan in DC through 2024:
Can Do!

While providing much fodder for the doomer types, an X is also the signal flag for Victor:
Victor meaning as single flag:
"I require assistance."
[.××ק××ר: ×× × ×ק×ק ××ĸ×ר×]*
Meaning when used with numeric complements:
Velocity in kilometres per hour.
The first place "Esther" appears in the Torah is where Cain is marked with a sign (ot), because he required assistance:
Gen 413 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid [×ץ×Ēר]; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark [××Öš×Ē] upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
* 917 =
hidden light [××ר × ×Ą×Ēר], and also
Victor: "I require assistance" [.××ק××ר: ×× × ×ק×ק ××ĸ×ר×] as described on the Hebrew side of the wiki flag code page.
I just happened to notice these equal sums when running the numbers of the phrases while typing this post (I never know what I might find..)
This inspired me to check my list, in case I had a stash of 917s on hand.
Of potential interest:
shnot alpaim [׊ְ×× ×Öš×Ē ×Öˇ×ְפ֡Öŧ×Ö´×], as in the hope of [bat] 2000 years.
And:
××× ×××× ×××Ē×... ××× ×× ×××× ×××Ē×
Because there's always hope, right? But what to do if there are an even number of petals? How to guarantee the winning outcome?
Ankh-key Ingenuity can provide assistance, no problem -- all the better with an even number result:
A humorous twist on the game is "He loves me, he loves me lots."
See how that all just... rolls... extemporaneously? It's like the sages say, "Purim is Forever."
Numbers Aplenty informs,
"It (917) is not an unprimeable number, because it can be changed into a prime (911) by changing a digit."
9:17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness:
9:11. On that day the number of those who were slain in Shushan the capital was brought before the king:
A little fountain became a river, and there was light and the sun and much water: this river is Esther, whom the king married and made queen...
