Looks like the eclipse in Africa was as exciting as expected.
Someof the friends with whom I went to Guadeloupe and the north of France for the 2 previous ones, said, from Zimbabwe, that it was their most beautiful eclipse! Well,it was longer, under a more beautiful natural environment...and a lot more expensive to get to too...
We know the whys, whats, whens, hows of eclipses, but it still brings up the search for divine explantions to some.
It's just that the Moon is 400 times closer and 400 times smaller than the Sun..just a coincidence...yes I can assure you, JUST a coincidence....don't you believe in coincidences?
