A partial eclipse is like a cool sunset. A total eclipse is like someone broke the sky.

    We live outside the edge of totality for the last eclipse. The sun became insanely bright, and changed colors, and all of the shadows had crescent shapes to them. It was trippy.

      Yeah I was outside the edge of totality last eclipse and the first thing I noticed was how much brighter the traffic lights looked. It’s weird how my eyes adjusted to perceive the darker day as normal daylight but both the sun and other lights seemed so much brighter.
