The 2017 total solar eclipse was the single greatest experience of my life. I plan to see many more of them. My life is divided into before I saw a total solar eclipse and after I saw one. (And people are divided into those that’ve seen one and those that haven’t.) Seeing a 99% solar eclipse is missing the whole thing. That last 1% is everything.
Here’s a round up of the links from before and after the eclipse that got me stoked and/or captured some of the awe of it.
