"That’s what a total eclipse feels like, and it is occasionally described as such: a glitch."
Well, in a sense, it IS a glitch: what we see is very much a coincidence of the relative distances and diameters of the moon and the sun. If either of them had been different size or different distance from Earth, there would be no "magic".
The fact that with our knowledge we can predict the eclipse and make it a collective event is also wonderful. More of us can attend!
I had a sens of community, humanity, unity with fellow Human. We are able to look in the same direction and be surprise by joy! Together! This just add to the awesomeness of the moment.🌎🌓☀️

My favorite piece on the eclipse. Thank you for putting it in this perspective.
Artfully written, this was a joy to read.
just saw it as well in upstate new york; beautifully said and thanks for bringing me back to that moment
