Reflection of Fire

me every day without fail: I'll do [chore] when I get home

me when I get home:

Whenever I saw those professional photos of total solar eclipses in the past I was always like this is Amazing but there’s no way it actually looks like that in real life. BUT IT DOES. IT LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE THR PHOTOS AND EVEN BETTER. YOU CAN SEE THE RED PROMINENCES WITH THE NAKED EYE. YOU CAN SEE THE FILAMENTS AND THE LINES IN THE CORONA. THE MOON IS THE BLACKEST BLACK LIKE A BLACK HOLE AND THE CONTRAST WITH THE CORONA IS UNREAL

#and that’s not even to mention the approaching darkness and the 360 degree dawn and the stars and the planets and the beautiful dark blue sk#*sky#and of course the adorable eclipse shadows#and the sunspots during the partial phases#and the streetlights turning on#.txt#solar eclipse#my jaw literally fell to the ground when totality happened#I had extremely high expectations and it exceeded all of them by light years

Unedited totality photos, including Bailey’s Beads, the Diamond Ring Effect, solar flares along the edges, and the corona of the sun.  Photos by R.

and everything under the sun is in tune but the sun is eclipsed by the moon
