Re: The Eclipse....
One of those is NOT a sun spot, it's the International Space Station flying by.

Re: The Eclipse....
We had 3 minutes or more of totality...WHAT A RUSH!!!! I even saw a confused little bat darting about! The streetlights came on.
My cat didn't think much of it.

Re: The Eclipse....
We led my grandnieces out of the garage once totality had occurred. The youngest, just turned 5, saw the corona and screamed bloody murder...then, began to cry! I wasn't expecting that kind of reaction and, yes I jumped plumb outta my shoes!

Re: The Eclipse....
A couple years back, I saw the ISS for about 15 minutes. I think that thing is as big as a couple of football fields because it IS 250 miles up'ere! And because they are closer to the Moon, they may not have seen as much of the corona. I felt awed and at the same time, so small!
