Marvellous scene.. 10 months ago

I read that there was going to be a solar eclipse yesterday. I wasn’t planning on catching it at first. In fact I was in the car on the way back home and was napping for the most part of the drive.

Then somehow I woke up and looked out the window. The sun was out and not far from it was patch of dark clouds. Soon after, the sun was hidden behind it, but since it wasn’t a thick cloud, I could still see bits of the sun peeking through.

And that was when I saw the eclipse. The sun looked like a partially bitten white cookie. It was such an amazing sight. I wasn’t wearing any special glasses, so I was staring directly at it. But since the clouds did a good job of filtering the blinding light, it was quite alright. I did see spots after that, not for long anyway, but it was well worth it! :D

looking at the moon 17 months ago

i saw a lunar eclipse but it turned cloudy. actually, the best thing about it was that there were so many people on facebook at the time and everyone was posting comments and there was so much energy. and people were like “whoa this is 30 earth-diameters away!”

actually i can’t really remember. that might have been 30 earth radii. either way it’s far away.
