Comet NEOWISE, captured from our backyard in Oakland. See you again in 6,800 years!
TOTALITY!
That was just awesome. There are no words to describe the experience.
This photo taken from my father-in-law’s telescope while we were camped out near Casper, Wyoming.
I am now an umbraphile.

Did I mention that I’m so excited for this? I’m really excited. So excited. So excited.
Getting excited for totality
We’ll be road tripping to Wyoming to see the total solar eclipse. Apparently, experiencing one is really weird.
During a solar totality, animals usually fall silent. People howl and weep. Flames of nuclear fire visibly erupt like geysers from the sun’s edge. Shimmering dark lines cover the ground.
I can’t wait!
