I was reminded of the song Total Eclipse of the Heart when I focused the light from the eclipsing sun through my binoculars this week. Two crescent suns fell on my shadow during the partial eclipse that we experienced in southern Ontario.
The day didn't turn to night as it would along the path of totality but with 75 percent of the normal sunlight blocked by the moon it did become perceptively darker, rather like what we see when wearing sunglasses.
I'll be ready for the next eclipse around here in 2024!
