I’ve always been fascinated by eclipses — so in 2017, when I got a chance to drive from Chicago to the outskirts of St. Louis to hang out in the path of totality, it was a no-brainer. I’ll only get 87 percent of an eclipse today in D.C., but on the occasion of my favorite astronomical event, I figured I’d eke out some thoughts.
Nicely written.
Very enlightening!
