That 17 eclipse was really cool. What got me were the weird bubble shadows and the eerie stillness of it. I can only imagine what it would have been like thousands of years ago before science could explain these things. Understandable how people collectively lost their shit.

Ya, if it blew my mind, I can't imagine 1000 yrs ago. Additionally, Haleys' Comet blew it as well.
The French Bayeux Tapestry, which illustrates the Hastings battle field in 1066 where William the Conqueror invaded England, has Haleys' Comet across the sky. |

But I do have video of the totality happening. I will agree that is a great experience.

I considered traveling from CA to the path of totality, but was concerned that I would pay for the flight, hotel, etc. only to have the place I chose be under cloud cover during the eclipse. Looks hit or miss today.

Imagine a fleet of fully autonomous drones that can recharge themselves any time they need.
A new drone prototype can find nearby powerlines and land on them to recharge its batteries

They will need their own drones, to monitor for rogue energy-stealing drones. And so starts the drone wars...
