solar eclipse August 1, 2008.

I was in downtown Atlanta in the middle 80's and there was a total eclipse of the sun. That was very very strange. I can imagine how people would have just gone bonkers way back in the day.

In Cali? I may just head out for it. There is nothing quite like a celestial event out West. You cannot get away from light pollution in CT.

If it's a solar eclipse, you won't need to worry about light pollution.

strange is right... the light to dark effect is eerie and when the jewel appears on the ring of light,, awesome.

Me and my girlfriend missed the eclipse, but were treated to the coolest sunset either of us have seen in out 78 years combinced experience,

I recall the birds stopped singing. And the shadows got really weird. The perception shift was like a psychedelic drug experience....uh, I imagine.
