What's so special about an eclipse anyway ? It just gets dark for a few seconds, that's all. What's all the fuss about ?
If you like it to be dark for a few seconds, just turn on all the lights, close the curtains, and suddenly turn off the lights. Eclipse....
You can do that over and over and create several eclipses just four you alone.
I never understood why thousands of people would flock together outside somewhere on a hill, or whatever, just to look up, and say ooooh and aaaah and "it's soooo beautiful". What a waste of time.
