Back when I was a young girl, watching one of the three broadcast channels on a black-and-white TV, I recall the news coverage related to 1970’s total eclipse of the sun that dimmed regions across North and Central America. I was fascinated, and a little upset that we weren’t going to experience the total darkness in Michigan, where I lived at the time.
I also learned from these broadcasts that total darkness during an eclipse lasts just four minutes.
The last time I experienced a partial eclipse in the San Diego area, my sole concern was getting the correct cardboard box set-up to view the event safely.
Back in 2017, Legal Insurrection reviewed the #FakeNews about President Donald Trump staring into the eclipse that occurred that year. He was actually wearing protective glasses.
