re: cartoon on this - Willful Ignorance of the Sheep
Lets be honest - hardly the most riveting event in the history of man. For the layman - a black dot strolls across the sun.
So what?
Who cares?
A total solar eclipse is different - it looks cool, the sky goes dark, yadda yadda
Most astronomical 'events' - are 'non events' as far as joe public is concerned, and I can well understand why
