Day turned into night, temperatures turned cooler in cities and villages teemed with amateur stargazers. The total eclipse started in India on Wednesday morning and moved eastward across Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Vietnam, China and parts of the Pacific. Total eclipses occur about twice a year as the moon passes between the Earth and the sun on the same plane as Earth's orbit. Wednesday's event lasted up to more than six minutes in some places.
Ok I have never seen an eclipse in my life! I believe one occurred when I was young and in day care however they felt it was a safety matter and didn’t let us see it. It is really a remarkable phenomenon considering how long it takes light to reach us. It takes 8 minutes for light to reach us and it is truly remarkable when it can be completely dark.
