Description
I just came home from vacation yesterday. We traveled to the path of totality to see the eclipse at its finest.. And it was. If I had to describe it, I would say it was unreal. I stood aside a vast cornfield, waiting for the entirety of the sun to be obscured by the advancing moon. Approximately 30 seconds before the corona, birds were shaken out of the trees, cows were disturbed, and all of the streetlights switched on. All surroundings became shrouded in a bizarre, dark light. I waited until the "ooos" and "aws" until I then peered up into the sky to see the most artificial thing imaginable. It was like an elegant halo surrounding a black hole. It was the most magical 1 minute, 20 seconds of my life. After the corona occurred, a sliver of the sun pierced everyone's eyes, which made our eyes retire back to the ground. All surroundings slowly lit, streetlights switched off, and everything was bright again.
