They're really not that interesting unless you're in totality.
Then the world turns upside down. The sun is replaced with a black disk in the sky, with whispy tendrils of corona. The birds all land in the trees and the dogs all start barking. The crickets and frogs think it's nighttime and start making a huge racket. For a couple minutes the world is unlike anything you've seen.
And then it ends and you're stuck in a 15 hour traffic jam with all the rest of the people who've experienced an other-worldly event.
(I saw the one in 2017 but I'm skipping this one.)
I still found the 85% one in 2017 really freaking cool. Getting about 90% this time!
Unlike anything you've seen, except for a dark evening. I saw 2017 as well and the shadows were cool but I really don't think it was worth the hype.
"it's just the moon" is honestly a wild opinion to me.
It's just the massive orb that circles our world through all of known history, which bends the oceans and tectonic crusts with it's movement, that inspired incredible amounts of art and culture, and is about to create a phenomenon which blots out the sun, in an incredible coincidence of size, position and timing, as the latest iteration of a pattern that may well have been the original inspiration for ways of thinking that went on to become the foundation for all of scientific thought. Nbd.
I'm sorry you have to work during the eclipse. I understand that it's moot whether or not you would enjoy it when it isn't something that you have time for anyways, and that would make me frustrated by everyone talking about it too.
I don't really believe you that don't care about any of that tho lol. Maybe not as much as your responsibilities, but no way you don't care at all.
In other words: your existence is pitiful.
Ui ui ui, someone got grumpy. Maybe it has something to do with the fact you don't have any wonder for the beauty of the universe.
Wow, the wittle troll got weally mad! So spoopy.
You're getting downvoted, however it's quite honestly a valid opinion.
Yeah I saw the last one and was honestly pretty annoyed by all the hype. It got dark. The shadows were cool though.
Let people enjoy things.
