So I missed it. The solar eclipse. The whole thing. It just seemed like a regular summer day, as in the sky was somewhat hazy. I am sure you already know the difference between a SOLAR eclipse and a LUNAR eclipse is a solar eclipse is when the New moon moves between the sun and the earth, blocking the sun and a lunar eclipse is the earth casting a shadow on the full moon. The next solar eclipse we will be able to see in the United States is in 2024 and it won’t go across the ENTIRE United States like today’s did. It looks like it might be in Arizona, New Mexico, and/Texas and the go up and east from there.
Time and Date has a lot of information on eclipses.
So many people traveled to different states and different locations to see it. I didn’t even look out my window. I was, too busy try to keep my little cat from looking outside. I didn’t want to end up with a blind cat.
There were people and places (businesses) having eclipse parties. There were a lot of places that were cashing in on the whole thing.
Since I missed it, I would love to hear your 2017 Eclipse story. So what is your story? What did you do? Do you have any pictures?
