Was amazed at the people that were in tears. it was a truly a life changing event I'll never forget and now understand why people travel from around the globe to witness a total solar eclipse. If you were in 99%, you really missed out.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

It's not that rare really. - Hbombtiger STL - 8/22 13:07:49

To me it's less the rarity, more the fact the sun is 400X la - Mizzmi27 MU - 8/22 13:15:10

That's kind of easy to realize everyday - Eggs MU - 8/22 13:16:36
