It’s so strange watching it get darker and darker outside

Eclipses are so cool

I will never forget when there was an eclipse here in central Europe but I was in elementary school and the teachers wouldn't allow us to go outside because we were stupid 10 year olds who would have looked at it without protection 😭😭 they completely blocked the windows with blinds and everything and we weren't allowed to go outside during the breaks. Like I very much understand their reasoning and it was absolutely better than having a bunch of kids go blind under your care, but I was PISSED they caused me to miss such a major one-in-a-lifetime (or few-in-a-lifetime) event
