Almost Famous: NYC's Near Miss
Let’s get one thing straight: NYC didn’t get the full-on, lights-out, twilight zone eclipse experience. No, no, no. We got the "almost" version. Picture this: you're waiting for the grand finale of a fireworks show, but all you get is a spectacularly underwhelming sizzle. That’s kinda what it was like for us New Yorkers.
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
But don't let that dampen your spirits! 90% ain't bad, folks. That's like eating 90% of a pizza and complaining there’s no crust. Come on, be grateful! It was still a pretty darn cool celestial show. Just imagine if we'd missed it entirely. We'd be the laughingstock of the solar system.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
Eclipse Etiquette: Don't Stare at the Sun, Dummy!
A quick PSA before we move on: DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN DURING AN ECLIPSE WITHOUT PROPER EYE PROTECTION. You’ll fry your eyeballs like an egg on a sidewalk. Trust me, it’s not worth it. Even with 90% coverage, that remaining 10% can still do some serious damage. So, either wear those fancy eclipse glasses or use a pinhole projector. Your future eyesight will thank you.
