I remember the eclipse of 1999 when the clouds got a bit darker. 50% of buisnesses in Cornwall are still called eclipse

I was conducting an opera on Brownsea Island that year, and the company chartered a boat to go out into the channel. There was a very slight darkening on an already cloudy day, and a general sense of weirdness. Not the transcendent experience many were hoping for, but worth it nevertheless.

My boyfriend now husband was working in CERN but I decided that it was too expensive to go so went to my dads in Cornwall to be underwhelmed. I decided to visit CERN after anyway, I should’ve just gone there for the eclipse, still kicking myself.

Excellent typography chart, reminds me of my favourite ‘gadzook’. Good that the blossom has survived the rain. Thank you for all.

Such a fun collection.

Made my kids watch a documentary with me last weekend and learned the 400x fact/coincidence. Mind was blown. I’m in Ohio and we are in the path of totality! I am so excited! 🤩
