1950’s Sci-Fi

Witnessing the recent eclipse of the sun from within the path of totality felt a bit like participating in a 1950’s sci-fi experience! We all had our special glasses on and were facing the same direction with our chairs tilted back to the exact angle needed to best watch the spectacle.

That spectacle was one of the most stunning things I’d ever seen, to be sure. It was easy to imagine how our ancestors would have been freaked out by such an amazing cosmic rarity, rushing to sacrifice virgins to appease the gods.

But the view above is the one that tickled me the most!
