I will be in upstate NY with my mother for today’s eclipse, with the deep snow from a storm late last week.
I love the stories around eclipses I’ve been reading in anticipation: from the lore of black squirrels by The Choctaw Nation to NASA scientists chasing the eclipse in jets to collect data and so many more legends.
If you plan to watch it, here are some of the how to watch the eclipse safely from eye doctors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDmeeuziqA4 and https://preventblindness.org/solar-eclipse-and-your-eyes/.
But mostly, I am looking forward to the sense of awe.
