Celeste gathering a couple of stragglers back to the main area with quiet words and hand motions so as not to distract too much from the awesomeness of the first stages too much. The total solar eclipse has clearly begun right before your eyes. It appears to be a slow, gradual movement of the moon across the sun, too slow to really be noticeable unless one was constantly staring at one point and nearly squinting. When in truth it was far faster than one might think, given it was two celestial objects in the sky hundreds of thousands of miles apart and away from the Earth itself.
“Looks lek something is taking a bite oot o’ the sun, eh?” she mused with a soft chuckle, her wizened green eyes not covered with glasses but charmed directly so the astronomy professor could keep an eye on both the eclipse and her charges to ensure their safety without switching between wearing glasses and not. Experience way back when first introducing her children to the phenomenon had taught her the usefulness of such an act. “Wan can easily understand how early folk grew worried when witnessing their first eclipses.” Those that didn’t have the study of others aided with the use of technology to give some understanding just what was happening before them. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/SQZ6gSJC/Eclipse-2.jpg)
After about a little more than 20 minutes had passed the sun was beginning to look more and more like a crescent moon. A corresponding shadow falling over the grasses and plants that hadn't been there before. That and a slight drop in temperature in the air from the fact that less of the sun's rays were hitting the earth.
