    My first total solar eclipse. It was truly breath taking. I’ve seen another one since then but the first one was truly special.

    • I caught the 2009 total eclipse here and it was awe-inspiring. It was also the longest solar eclipse expected for the 21st century at 6 minutes, 39 seconds, so it made a deep impression on everybody standing on the roof of the apartment block to watch it.

      I don’t wish to see a second, though, because the next one will be in the year 2200 and that would mean I’d still be alive in 200 years. Not something I want.

      It’s wild.

      Air changing, animals responding. Shit must have been transcendental in the past.
