Total Solar Eclipse: December 4, 2021

[Ron Schmit]

I assume you watched it online (or maybe not, since totality was at 1:44 am CST,) but did anyone from the MAS actually GO to this one? These are the ones when you really earn your bones.

Got a kick of the Moon moving "left to right" as you watched it from the ground. South Pole, you are a fascinating creature!!

I can NOT believe how CLOSE they were to getting clouded out!! It was tucked in RIGHT along the horizon and JUST below the clouds. Crazy good fortune!
