@edchivers This is so true. Some instincts are still deeply rooted in us.

Next year, there’s going to be a solar eclipse in Egypt that will last for six minutes, and I’ll probably go to see that one too.

@steinstory Me too! We had a partial eclipse in Poland back then. I was a child, and our neighbor showed it to us through a welding mask. It made a huge impression on me. I had so many questions! And no one could answer them

Ever since then, I’d dreamed of seeing a total solar eclipse somewhere in the world And this year, I finally made that dream come true! ️️

I’m in Spain. I came here to see the solar eclipse that happened yesterday. It was absolutely one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen in my life.
Suddenly, it got dark and cold everywhere. The wind picked up. For a moment, you felt very small, and there was this strange sense of… awe, almost even fear. And that’s despite the fact that I understand the science behind a solar eclipse.

So if I, a person living in the 21st century, can feel something like that, I can only imagine what ancient people must have felt when they saw the Sun suddenly disappear from the sky.

It was an absolutely incredible experience, and I would recommend it to everyone if you ever get the chance to see one.

I’m attaching a photo showing the Sun’s corona and the very first ray of sunlight appearing from behind the Moon.
