Eclipse Party!
Did anyone in the right regions get to see the solar eclipse today? I thought I wasn't going to because paradoxically I was stuck in the Space Place Dome Theater for a shift,* but nobody showed up for one of the shows because THERE WAS AN ECLIPSE GOING so I had time to run out and hang with the Space Place Eclipse Party for a bit and look through the filtered telescopes and through the filtered glasses and DEAR GOD PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT THE SUN WITHOUT A FILTER PEOPLE.
So yeah, we partied like Space Place people, by which I mean a bunch of nerds stood around and tried to see who could explain space the loudest while peering through telescopes. And now I've got mylar-filtered glasses so I can check out the sun with impunity WHENEVER I DAMN WELL PLEASE and every time I'll feel a little bit defiant. TAKE THAT, THE SUN!
Then I had to go back to Dome Jail. But it was clouding up anyway, so that was fine. I'm just glad I got to see it.
*I suppose on the plus side I could always simulate the eclipse ...
