It would've looked something like this. Sky a bit lighter for most of it. But it was far off and extremely indistinct. Rose with no fanfare whatever and no one would've even noticed it had they not been scouring the horizon to see it. It was actually just a faintly pink ring against a deepening lavender sky when it first got up in between the mountains. Had this been any other month of the year, the whole thing would've been over before we could see it.
Still. NASA keeps showing the light coming back from the west side of the moon and it's come back from the south of it this time. Again with the clearly visible discrepancy between live and memorex. Either this is from radically different places on the continent looking at the action, or I live in a time/space warp.
If you missed it, you didn't miss much... unless you would've been seeing it well after sunset. Here, the sun had just gone down and it was still light enough to see clearly, and everybody was in their houses with their damn tv sets blasting or out on the highway heading home to their damn tv sets.
It was JUST threatening to get really cool and the totality started going, leaving me vexed over this discrepancy again. Pft.
always and any time....
