Transcript of “Luscious Eclipse Description”
We were talking earlier about eclipses,
And a really good resource for eclipse information
Is the website eclipse2017.org.
And there, Dan McGlon is an eclipse enthusiast,
And he’s got all this great language involving eclipses,
But I just wanted to read you his description of a corona
Because it’s so cool.
He writes, all the sun’s light is blocked, and you’re looking at the most beautiful thing you’re likely to ever see,
The solar corona shimmering around the moon’s disk brilliantly, and which is only about as bright as the full moon.
It will look to you as though someone has painted the sky a deep blue-black,
Has cut an impossibly black hole in it with a pair of scissors,
And then smeared radiant, glowing, shimmering cotton candy around that hole.
No picture in the world can do justice to the sight you have before you,
And you will want to etch it into your memory forever.
That’s beautiful.
That’s an enthusiast, right?
Yeah, he’s so in love with the eclipse.
Yes.
