Random Facts...XLVII

The sun popped out right at the peak and I saw a quarter of it blocked. Pretty cool.

 

I saw it start, just a chunk missing, then it went behind the clouds. Trees got in the way after that.


It did get unusually dark before it got dark... that's what Erin responded to. The deer seemed to not notice, some of the outside birds seemed to be acting odd... I guess birds notice these things more than mammals.

 

i remember one time in grade school we had a full solar eclipse during mid-day


that was probably the best one ill ever see in my life so i never really bothered with them since

 

i remember that one too. it was pretty awesome..

 

it was probably 1984

i went to that school from 83 to 86

 

There was a full one back in the 60's that the school made a big deal about... They rescheduled the day so we had science class during the eclipse.

 

While director Peter Weir was filming Witness (1985) in the Amish region of Pennsylvania, a genuine solar eclipse occurred on May 30, 1984 at his location. Weir filmed several of his actors in costume, responding to the eclipse, with a vague intention of revising the film's storyline to include a solar eclipse.[citation needed] Ultimately, however, the eclipse footage was not included in the final edit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipses_in_fiction

Rf: I witnessed the eclipse with my uncle, and I saw Witness in theaters with my uncle.
