Not a lot of TOTAL eclipses. And the next US total is 20 years.

Unless you can afford to fly (and stay) internationally, it might very well be once in a lifetime to witness totality.

Or go outside at midnight, which is technically a total eclipse.

I guess it's the sun being "eclipsed" by the Earth? Since it's between us and the sun?

That's all I got, and it feels like a hell of a stretch

Yes, lame joke. I have to stop posting before I finish my coffee.
