Solar Eclipse

Solar Eclipse

When the moon covers the sun

This does not happen every day

This is a special occasion 

Everyone gathers outside to see

People look enthusiastic at the moment when they can look at the sky when the sun and moon met 

Hearing the crickets chirping and bugs coming out of the ground confused them because they thought it was night 

You see the city lights turn on as darkness covers the sky 

The rush to watch this is because it is rare to see the universe align the sun, the moon, and the earth 

Watch what happens when people, bugs, and animals react all at once is wonderful 

This a moment that you should truly take in because you only get these very rarely during your lifetime 

So be enthralled when the eclipse is here 

The solar eclipse is a moment that we can all enjoy because we can be thankful for what the universe can do for us 

So I thank the moon for covering the sun in the middle of the day and making it night for a few minutes 

My solar eclipse

    I got marvelous glimpses, through 2x welding glass, in my driveway in the mountains of Southern California earlier today, about 35%. How great to view it entirely :)))) Dawn

      It was wonderful. All and more of what I thought it would be.

        Very humbling to witness! My husband works on set at Universal Studios on a TV show — I gave him some welding glass and the welding glass goggles (really cool!) I’d bought for a previous eclipse, to see the eclipse at work. He shared it with about 60 people from the crew, who kept thanking him. When the trams drove by, the crew waved and made an extra-eclipse-inspired fuss, so the joy was shared even further. (He’s a real hero on set now :)))
