Eclipse Day Open Thread

🌞🌝 🌗

Saturday greetings! Today is annular eclipse day. Live coverage of the event is being broadcast by NASA on YouTube for anyone to watch, regardless of location. All of the particulars concerning the eclipse were posted on yesterday's thread.

Mom always said to never look at the Sun, and she was right. Go figure. Grandma said they used to get a piece of glass and hold it over a match to blacken it with soot, then use that to look through at the Sun. Sounds kinda sketchy to me, Grandma. It's probably best to use eclipse glasses, or better still a shade 14 welding glass, to protect your peepers from the rays. Alternatively, the Sun's image can be cast onto a white surface using a simple pinhole projector. Or stand under a tree, and as the sunlight filters through the leaves, the crescent images will be seen everywhere.

The thread is open, so freely post your thoughts, your prayers, your hopes, your jokes, your fears, your dreams, your schemes, your aches, your pains, your pictures, your favorite music, your story... it's up to your imagination! All that's asked in return is to keep the words polite and aligned with Peace and Love. Make it a great day!

UPDATE:  Below is a photo I took during annularity showing the Sun's eclipsed image being projected onto my driveway, as the sunlight filtered through the leaves of a nearby tree.
