How many here are planning to view the eclipse on August 21?
Bart Simpson was horsing around at the swimming pool, broke his arm and had to spend the rest of the summer indoors. Lisa gave him her telescope to pass the time. He saw all of the stars, planets, comets, etc. and said, "Wow! The universe is soooooo... boring!"
Back in the seventies I saw an eclipse that was dramatic enough for the streetlights to come on. I don't really need another one.
