I’m seeing clouds in the sky off to the west, and the Environment Canada forecast has changed from “sunny” to “mostly sunny.” Apple weather says “partly cloudy conditions from 3PM-4PM, with mostly cloudy conditions expected at 4PM.” DISASTER AWAITS!

It was so beautiful I almost cried.

I have to say, it was better than I expected and I didn’t even have glasses.

It was fantastic. It was difficult to take a photo even through the glasses that showed how spectacular the light show was when the moon finally covered the totality of the sun. The corona was wild! But it is equally amazing how strong the sun really is, that even a little sliver of the sun, from behind the moon can light up our daily lives so much.

Ephraim: exactly! When totality was over, it was surprising how fast it felt like “everything is light again” even though it was just a fingernail sliver of sun peeking through.

Here’s a tangentially related presentation on light and human health.

@Kate and @Ephraim – same. Just the tiniest sliver of light was enough to make our world bloom. We earthlings are such solar beings. We know this at some level but to see it is humbling.
