July 22 Today’s eclipseThe situation today and its final result must remind me of the lyrics in the Blackadder: Back and Forth: “What a pity!” by Nancy. Although I have been informed of today’s weather from China Voice, it struck me until the total darkness of the eclipse. Most of people around me say that it’s so rare that it is impossible to appreciate such a majestic scene again until AD 2309. Things seemed a fixed fate since the very beginning of the day. When I got up at 6:50, the cloud had covered the sky and totally wiped out my hope that it would be a sunny day. Then, about at 8:15, the rain unfortunately began! And it was incredibly heavy! What a day! I was then absolutely down even though I heard from the local TV station that it WOULD be sunny at 9:30, namely the culmination of the eclipse. But it was wrong, with nothing changed until 9:35, the total darkness of the eclipse. Surprisingly, I could feel the difference, though little, between the darkness at that time and the true night in the moist air yet that was all thinking, not feeling physically. My father got me a pair of glass for this eclipse but it didn’t work now. When I put it on my nose, excuse me, I could hardly see anything but the reflection image from back. And the only experience I ever conducted was to see the light above me in the ceiling and it was cool. All the detailed shining strips and color area are different and perfectly controlled. By the way, I wanted to tell my mom maybe I can wait for three hundred years and my mom said that I could try. |
