On Aug 21st, 2017, for the first time in 99 years, people were able to view a total solar eclipse across the US. We were lucky as the whole state of NC was guaranteed to in an incredible 90 percent plus solar eclipse. That means that we didn't have to travel anywhere to enjoy this phenomenon. The eclipse was to happen shortly after 2pm so Robert said that he could come home early since all of his afternoon patients had cancelled. We didn't have special glasses for everyone so we had share a pair of glasses Robert got from work. And we also used our phone. It was a very eerie sight! Like dusk in the middle of the day with all the cicadas chirping preparing for night time.
Now we have to wait till April 2024 to enjoy another total solar eclipse om Northern America.
