The Sun's Out, the Moon's Out... But Not Together Out
The thing about eclipses is, they're a bit like a really exclusive party. The moon gets all close and cozy with the sun, blocking it out for some lucky viewers on Earth. But Atlanta wasn't on the guest list for this cosmic shindig. We were stuck outside with the consolation prize of a slightly dimmer afternoon sun.
Don't worry, Atlanta, there's always next time... right?
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.
Well, that depends. For a total eclipse, where the moon completely covers the sun, we'll have to wait a while. Like, a long while. We're talking 2078 long while. But hey, at least your great-great-great-great grandkids will have something to look forward to!
