A partial eclipse is like a cool sunset. A total eclipse is like someone broke the sky.

    We had one when I was a kid, and they had us poke a hole in a piece of paper, and then stand with our backs to the eclipse and watch it’s shadow develop on the ground as projected through the paper. It was cool, but not as cool as actually seeing it directly.
