The Solar Eclipse
The events of the solar eclipse
This is another review of the solar eclipse in the New York City area. The solar eclipse was met was a few who liked it and a few who didn't like it. I would say I was somewhere in the middle. The New York city area has not seen an complete blackout since 1925. There were a few partial eclipse along the way to 2024, but no blackout. Hoping this was a chance to experience a complete blackout was a bit of a disappointment, the solar glasses showed the moon going across the sun but without it you could not tell what was going on. The sun was still bright, for a while it seemed like something was going to happen but nothing and so passed another solar eclipse in the New York city area which turned out to be a bummer. The next eclipse that is reported to be in 2079 will be a total eclipse, maybe the science world will figure out a pill to prolong human life. As for now we should marvel at the earth, the moon and the sun that are completely different sizes but from this planet they all seem the same size.
