Prolly the same thing as always I would surmise.:)

I had to look up whose Bonnie Tyler? Evidently she has been a total eclipse on my horizon.

Just listened to her Eclipse, Hmmm. Not for me I guess. If I am going to The End Of The Line I'll rather do it with the The Travelng Wilburys. "Well it's all Right!"

Wow! So the prophecies that nothing would happen are true. 

It is a figment of a group imagination, for all ended with Y2K

Don't worry, brother. In September 2025 during the next total solar eclipse, it will be Australia's and New Zealand's turn to deal with this stuff. The total solar eclipse will also be witnessed in Antartica, the Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean. 

I wonder what the penguins and seals will do with it.

What will Bonnie Tyler be doing, I have to ask?

Referencing an anthem of the 1980s?

Pardon me for a moment...

There, all better now.

I have a family that lives in Dallas and according to them the news casts there are saying that the businesses there made about 600 million dollars in one day from all the people who drove and flew to Dallas just to see the eclipse.  That is just Dallas.

Small towns in East Texas had so many people they declared emergencies to bring out people to help keep things moving.

Could be a moment of serious peril for those that cannot find  their way to refuge upon ice and must contend with the predators of the deep.

Actually I do think the eclipse(s) to be prophetic, as are all the ornaments of the heavens placed by God  for signs and seasons.

How can the shadow of the moon be so much smaller than the moon itself?  When you put an object in front of a light source the umbra (darker inner shadow) is always far bigger than the actual object. 

Jedi4, I am not sure what your point is.  It seems the physics is quite straight-forward.  What I would like to point out is that the celestial phenomenon from yesterday SHOULD make us even MORE appreciative of the awesome power of God and how He continues to awe us with his capabilities so that one is moved to worship Him (Ps 89:7; Isa 29:23)! Christians are encouraged to “render God sacred service with godly fear and awe” (Heb 12:28). God’s servants give evidence of this awe by earnestly striving to please Him, recognizing that he will call all to account and render judgment without partiality.—1Pe 1:17; Re 14:7.

What I found interesting is that on the national news accounts from yesterday, broadcasters were talking about the "spiritual" nature of the eclipse, but the "spiritual" essence of that moving event was NOT tied in with the Bible, nor with God.  People now days have an odd definition of "spirituality" that does NOT involve God.
