  Then you can be the one that boos this time. And someone will tweet about that, and someone else will screenshot that and post it elsewhere, where someone else will say that it’s only in America, and they’ll be taught it isn’t… it’s all part of the great circle of planetarium

  Even if you don’t have kids! It’s a great way to get a feel for stars without having to go out and watch. (Been a bad year for it.)

  For people in America…. The eighth has a total eclipse, next one is in 20 years. Just a reminder… if you can get to the path of totality (100%), it is an entirely different experience.

    Sadly, I’ll miss this one, but I was in the middle of Oregon during that total eclipse. Eerie is one way to put it, but I would say it provides somewhat of an existential experience having the moon fully interrupt the light of our star. The birds go quiet, the temperature drops and a twilight surrounds you whilst still being able to see sunlight off in the distance. I spent time using my camera for a moment or two, but really wanted to fully experience it at the same time. It involved a long time without sleep, but I am very happy I made the journey.
