It was a completely overcast and rainy day. Leading up to the eclipse, you couldn't see the sun at all. Three minutes before totality, the sun started to peak through, and with one minute to go, clouds dissipated and the entire sky opened up. We lucked out, but the best was yet to come. Even though the rain had stopped, there was still so much water vapor in the air. When the sun eclipsed, the corona was full of tiny rainbows! Imagine seeing the stunning corona in full color! I have never seen that since, but anything is possible. You just don't know how it will play out.</span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="arbrq" data-offset-key="84jla-0-0" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" data-mce-style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div data-offset-key="84jla-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj"><span data-offset-key="84jla-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="arbrq" data-offset-key="ebqc4-0-0" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" data-mce-style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div data-offset-key="ebqc4-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj"><span data-offset-key="ebqc4-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14pt;" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14pt;">6. 360-degree sunset...total silence...total peace</span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="arbrq" data-offset-key="9d40i-0-0" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" data-mce-style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div data-offset-key="9d40i-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj"><span data-offset-key="9d40i-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="arbrq" data-offset-key="7a0n7-0-0" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" data-mce-style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div data-offset-key="7a0n7-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj"><span data-offset-key="7a0n7-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14pt;" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14pt;">During totality, or when the sun is completely covered by the moon, you can see a what looks like a sunset-- in every direction-- around the horizon. </span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="arbrq" data-offset-key="85fp2-0-0" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" data-mce-style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div data-offset-key="85fp2-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj"><span data-offset-key="85fp2-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="arbrq" data-offset-key="en4g2-0-0" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" data-mce-style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div data-offset-key="en4g2-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj"><span data-offset-key="en4g2-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14pt;" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14pt;">When I was a young boy back in July 1963, I witnessed my first solar eclipse in Bangor, Maine. When totality arrived, I was amazed at how dark it got. The silence that descended around us was as profound as it was unexpected. The birds stopped chirping. The air grew still. And all around the horizon where the clouds left a little gap of sky, there was a crimson band of light as if sunset was a 360-degree phenomenon.</span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="arbrq" data-offset-key="15g1v-0-0" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" data-mce-style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div data-offset-key="15g1v-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj"><span data-offset-key="15g1v-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="arbrq" data-offset-key="c5s9g-0-0" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" data-mce-style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div data-offset-key="c5s9g-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj"><span data-offset-key="c5s9g-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14pt;" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14pt;">The strange 360-sunset effect happens, because the sun is still shining outside the path of totality. </span></div><div data-offset-key="c5s9g-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj"><span data-offset-key="c5s9g-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div data-offset-key="c5s9g-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj"><span data-offset-key="c5s9g-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14pt;" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14pt;">-- John</span></div></div></div></div></body></html>
