I guess that Donald wasn't one of them...
Donald who?

As the days go by, I wasn't worried that I missed the eclipse itself.
It was the stories of the people who got to see it that made me smile.

Useless science facts?
The surface of the sun is something like 10,000 degrees, but as the plasma moves away from the sun, It accelerates and the temp goes up to 1,000,000 degrees. Scientist don't know how this happens.....but if we know that, then it's not a mystery anymore?
The sun is 93 million miles away, the moon? About 240,000 (don't quote me on that)....

Bad pun time....
How does the sun get a haircut?
He 'e - clips' it.

The next full moon is September 6 at 00:04 hours (12:04 a.m.)
One fun thing to do is - if you never have seen one - is a moon rise.
Go online and see what time it rises in your area and take a few minutes to watch it......no special glasses required....
