Sarah Jackson on Nostr: All the #eclipse chat is reminding me of when we watched the total solar eclipse in ...
All the #eclipse chat is reminding me of when we watched the total solar eclipse in August 1999 in Cornwall! We were up on Carn Marth with hundreds of other people, and even though it was cloudy when it happened it was hecking eerie. It was more like twilight than darkness, and although most people fell silent all the birds started singing. A lot of people were expecting the world to end, with varying degrees of seriousness, and I admit I did feel a small sense of relief when the shadow passed 😅
