Solar eclipses. A brief instant of not catching my eyeballs on fire when I look at the sun.

You shouldn't directly look at it during a solar eclipse, anyway. It could still damage your eyes.

Psh. I'll let my ophthalmologist worry about that.

21 August 2017: Total solar eclipse stretching across the United States. The longest duration of totality will be two minutes, forty seconds near Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

Wow. A reason to be here in 2017. I hope to any supreme beings out there that I am NOT still here then, though. :/

See? You didn't miss anything. If you're still alive in a few years, you'll catch another one.
It was a full eclipse. Those are much rarer.

The 'total' in 'four total lunar eclipses' means full. 'Total eclipse' = moon covered completely, gets orange/red tint.
