I remember many eclipses over the years.
But I don't remember everyone making such a
giant deal out of a small, nearly insignificant curiosity.
We'd look as say: huh, that's kind of cool, Now where were we?
Strange times indeed.
In other news:
Quote:
"a person" who once led the House Science Committee’s space subcommittee,
made several false statements that stunned a crowd of teenagers at
Booker T. Washington High School during Monday’s solar eclipse.
"You’ve heard the word ‘full moon,’" she told the students who were with her on a sports field before the eclipse.
"Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete-rounded circle,
which is made up mostly of gases.
And that’s why the question is: Why or how could we as humans live on the moon?
Are the gases such that we could do that?"
The congressional representative continued, saying, "The sun is a mighty powerful heat,
but it’s almost impossible to go near the sun.
The moon is more manageable."
