Have you ever seen a total solar eclipse? They are one of the most beautiful things you can view on Earth. When the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, the moon blocks the sun. This causes the sky to go as dark as night. The eclipse lasts for only a couple of minutes. Some people in the United States will get to observe a total solar eclipse this August. It is a once in a lifetime experience for many people.

Yes, very awesome. It rained here until about 30 minutes before, then it was clear the whole time, then it rained again. It was clear during the eclipse though, and I had my eclipse glasses ready. When the moon was fully in front of the sun, I couldn’t see it at all through my glasses, it took a minute to realize to take them off and look around!


It was really something to see. I live just north of Kansas City, in the path of the totality. It it seemed to go very fast though, was it like that for everyone else?

 But I always think it is a funny things as other funny things, like I found the robot could move itself when I was a little child.

I ever saw. But now I have forgotten what’s view that time. it was about at my primary school.


   No. I don’t think a solar eclipse is romantic. But if the two lovers see it together, it will be romantic really.



   I would thought I had lost the feeling of romantic since I became a mother.
