There are wonderful scientific studies going on about today’s solar eclipse, so I thought I’d bring it down to Earth (as it were) by showing what it did in my own backyard. In my part of Eastern Canada, the solar shadow raced at 2,400 kms an hour across a slice of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and PEI before exiting at Bonavista on the east coast of Newfoundland.
Your viewing site seems grander than ours. We parked in a half-deserted Costco parking lot, five miles west of Dublin, Ohio. The total eclipse was terrific and I learned something worthy of sharing with others for the next total eclipse: The one hour periods before and after an eclipse are ideal times to shop at Costco. There were plenty of convenient parking spots, and absolutely no lines at the checkout!

LOL - good shopping at Costco - will have to remember that for the next eclipse, thanks!
