flamingsword: “star stuff” in front of an image of a nebula (Star Stuff)

the sky is wrong

I spent a couple hours with my friend Ruby and we helped her disabled mom outside to see the eclipse. I hope you get to see a total eclipse, if not today, then sometime in your life. It was cool.

The five minutes on either side of the totality, I got to watch the blue drain out of the sky, because there was no Rayleigh Scattering. It was creepy and cool!

I now have another headache and will be going to nap as soon as I get the doctor's office to pick up the damn phone so I can make an appointment.

I'm so glad I got to see it.

I got to see the last solar eclipse of the 2nd millenium! There's one in 2026 with totality in northern Spain and an annular solar eclipse in 2028 (totality also over Spain). I'm hoping to make both!
