I was just blown away by the beauty of the 2017 eclipse - it was
something that to this day, there has been nothing so amazing in the
sky as that few minutes! Even how nature changed - in subtle ways -
was cool. Like wind picking up, nocturnal creatures starting to stir in the middle of the day, the cool and weird shapes shadows made on the ground.
I was in one of the areas where it was supposed to last the longest, yet it seemed like it went by so fast! I was at a house by a farm so when the
eclipse started, you could really hear the crickets start up! I was with a
lot of people, many older than I who, even though they knew what it was
still seemed a little "convinced" that the apocalypse might be upon us.
The persons younger than I that were in the crowd seemed to enjoy it but,
if they saw it as a spiritual event, they were a lot more quiet about it. :)
The weather was super hot that day, but also more than clear enough for viewing.
I encourage anyone who has an opportunity to view the 2023 of 2024
eclipse to try and see it - you certainly won't be dissapointed.

IIRC, there is an area in Southern Illinois that one of these eclipses is
going to cross that was also a hot spot for the 2017 eclipse. Anyone who
lives in that area is going to get a second shot at seeing it.
