I’ll admit… I was completely over the eclipse before it ever happened. I knew I was going to be at work when it happened, so it was very hard to feel much excitement at all. I’m glad you were able to experience it and get so much out of it.
I was near, but not in the path of totality for the 2017 eclipse. I had no idea how amazing it would be so made no effort to drive the one hour to see it. As it turned out, it was cool enough where we were that I had an Idea what we were missing out on. So when I found out about this one two years ago, where my sister lives right in the path (near Dallas), I started making my plans to visit. I had been so upset about the weather forecast, but like with you, the skies cleared and it was in fact a beautiful day and an amazing experience.
I had to travel three and a half hours to be in the path of totality and worry obsessively about going where the clouds were not. It was worth every one of the 4 minutes and 23 seconds of totality I witnessed. Interestingly, you had the same experience with time, speeding up and slowing down simultaneously like a profoundly religious experience.
The next best thing to see in the sky is a lunar eclipse from a dark location. Seeing the blood-red moon against a starry background is another life-changing event. Solar eclipses show us the geometry of the heavens, but lunar eclipses show us our place in the universe, and it's beautiful.

A day without a night and a night without a day….

Always interesting stuff.
