The majesty of the moment overtook me as I watched them laugh it off before realizing how close they had come to being a street party illegally setting off fireworks and burning their neighbour's house down. Then a dude said "wow, so fucking cool" and we all returned to the moon sun thing, which was pretty cool I guess.

    I was lucky enough to see the totality and jokes aside it was pretty cool. There were bats flying. Birds in migration. It became extremely cold. The street lights went on. And there was a moment where you didn't need your glasses (the clouds actually helped with the brightness) and the total eclipse was spectacular
    The partial totality and the slow approach of the moon made me feel so small but also a big part of an event so many people were experiencing at once. Solid 7.88924 out of 10 experience cuz no one understood me playing the Berserek soundtrack.

    I was in the path of totality, luckily I lived there so I didn't need to travel. It was cloudy, which was unfortunate, but it was still REALLY cool. At first it felt a bit like a sunset, but then it started dimming REALLY fast, literally as if someone was operating a dimmer, rapidly getting dark. When it got completely dark, yet still bright across the horizon, it was insane, the birds in the area were freaking out and making a ton of noise, and I was absolutely mesmerized by seeing a completely black cloud set against a bright horizon in the distance. The only thing I can describe it as was sort of like the twilight sections from Zelda: Twilight Princess, but much darker (I know it's a nerdy analogy but it's the only thing I could think of)

Transits of Venus happen in pairs 8 years apart every 121 or 105 years, so he decided since he was already so far from France that he would stay for the next 8 years to see the second one in the pair. He went to Pondicherry (which had returned to French rule by peace treaty in 1963) after doing other stuff in places in the general area such as Madagascar, arriving in March 1768. By 4th June 1769, he had spend about 8 years away from his home, waiting for the transit. This was it, the big night… it was cloudy.
      The story doesn’t end there though. After a miserable trip home filled with storms, hardships and dysentery, he arrived home in Paris in October 1771, 2 years after missing the second transit and 11 years after he first left Paris. However, it had turned out that every letter he had sent to his home country, whether it be to his wife, his family or the Royal Academy of Sciences, had failed to reach his destination, and thus during the 11 year interim he had been presumed dead, and thus his wife had remarried, his possessions and assets taken by eager relatives, and his position at the Academy given to another person!
