#tbt from the previous eclipse that I actually did watch back in 2017. Taken with my cellphone looking into a telescope at the community college. Then I used the color leak filter on Instagram to just add even more blobs of color (including the reflection of my phone).

After Day 7, Comes Day 8. The 2023, 2024 Wars signal DAy 7 and 8.
Signals to Day Seven and Day Eight are happening now in 2023 and 2024. The eclipses are signals to America to return to God's covenant with Israel. What Day is April 16, 2024? It is Day Eight Nisan. Lazarus has risen and so will Christ.
What Happened at The Eclipses of 2017, 2023 and 2024? What Happened to the goats? The Nations are called, goats. God came and carefully investigated what was happening on the earth at the eclipses of 2017, 2023 and 2024. It had been determined by God that no more of his children would be lost to hell. The signal of Creation is systematically being witnessed in eclipses. The earth was once…

I was lucky enough to live close enough to both the August 21st 2017 eclipse and the one on April 8, 2024 to take a bus trip to see totality for both!
It’s the astronomy geeks’ version of the pilgrimage to Mecca. You really need to see a total solar eclipse at least once in your lifetime. You don’t understand the hype until you experience it.
No video or picture, no matter how professionally done, can do it justice. It’s not just what you see in the sky. It’s the gradual weakening of the sunlight; close to totality, it loses all its heat, though to your eyes, it remains just as bright as before until totality. The air rapidly cools. Shadows get weird; close to totality, you’ll see crescent shaped shadows that should be round. Even the shadows of the branches of the tree I was sitting under seemed odd.
When it starts to get dark due to the sun setting low in the west like usual, it throws long dark shadows across the landscape, tall features like buildings or trees or even mountains cover anything behind them in dark. With a total solar eclipse above, it’s like…very weak light from a ring light (which it is I suppose). It’s evenly dark all around, but you can still see perfectly well. You look at artificial lights and can clearly see they’re bright against the twilight, but your eyes and brain tell you “No, you can see all around just fine, thus it’s still light out.” The lights don’t “wash out” everything else like a streetlight blinding you to everything outside its range. There’s no glare. It’s like light and dark called a truce for a few minutes and your eyes don’t have to adjust when looking from one to the other.
You can turn a complete circle and all along the horizon, it looks like sunset. (When the eclipse is high in the sky that is, like these were.)
Then you look in the direction the moon came from, and you can see the light creeping back. It’s a sunrise in fast forward, but no sun creeping above the horizon.
And just like that, it’s gone. It’s surreal. I don’t know why the religious crazies see it as a bad omen when they could see it as a rare gift from god, allowing us mere mortals to look at the sun for just a few moments without harm. The moon is just big enough to blot out the sun but not its corona, allowing you to look right at it, to see the light it emits without burning your retinas. It’s so odd that the sun and moon, millions of miles away and apart, would be spaced just so to allow this to happen.

Superstition has given many explanations for eclipses. Primitive cultures believed that the sky reflected what happened on earth. So they believed that during eclipses darkness reigned over light. In many cultures, they thought that eclipses were a good time for sacrifices. Even human sacrifices. In fact, they'll explain it better in History class, but the Maya believed that human blood was… Well, we're out of time.

Experiencing an eclipse
Shadows grow weird
The hair on the back of your neck starts to prickle
Minutes before the totality hits the birds go silent and the bugs SCREAM
The danger sense in the back of your brain says something is w-r-o-n-g
Logically, you know the darkness is coming, you can track the moon’s path over the sun by the shadows on the ground and through your glasses
Totality still hits like a physical blow. The sky goes dark.
People scream, people cry.
The Sun is gone
It’s a devastating black void in the sky where warmth has always been. Horror and jubilation follow, people trying to grab photos and each other
Just as equilibrium settles, the moon shifts and the first piercing ray of sunlight is blinding.
The sun, the light returns, the sky becomes blue again.
People scatter, intent on returning home as quickly as they can.
Birds start singing again.
The shadows return to normal.
The eclipse is over.

Just under four minutes of quiet, dark stillness. The nearby crows were (once again, as they were in 2017) very much not a fan as totality approached.

Not to totally dox myself but for the second time in seven years I will be able to step outside my house and see a total solar eclipse.
I swear to god if Magica DeSpell escapes the dime and steals my shadow again I'm gonna be pissed.
