Re: The eclipse

.

This was my first experience. No heat from our star struck me. Right at the very brink of Totality there's a few second stretch of time where it is as if a dimmer is being turned toward off as the light level reduces into Totality. Looking with my bare eyes at our star's Corona was something!

During our 3 1/2 minutes, I was surprised that it wasn't totally dark. The sky was still a shade of blue and all around was the sight of what appeared to be sunset or sunrise. Frogs started croaking, roosters roostering and crickets making their noise. Strange indeed.
