Neither strange, nor bizarre, but actually really super-cool:
I shall only say that I have passed a varied and eventful life, that it has been
my fortune to see earth, heavens, ocean, and man in most of their aspects; but
never have I beheld any spectacle which so plainly manifested the majesty of
the Creator, or so forcibly taught the lesson of humility to man as a total
eclipse of the sun.
From “The Eclipse” by James Fenimore Cooper (1789 – 1851)
Well, "swing-and-a-miss" on the picture AND the title (not a "night sky", duh, since the sun is above the horizon, and it won't be dark like with a total solar eclipse).
I thought these people had access to "geniuses" like Neil deGrasse Tyson...
My boss at Staring Lake, Stan Tekiela, was out photographing loons on the morning of June 10. Ended up with a nice shot of the eclipse and he didn't even know it!

Very nice picture.
We knew Stan from some birdwatching trips we did with the kids many years ago. We first met Stan at the Wild Bird Store in Burnsville (right next to Rockler where I like to hang out).
My son Kevin impressed Stan because he had memorized every bird in Stan's Minnesota Birds book, so Stan quizzed him and then signed his book for him as well. Neat guy.
