As close as this camera can get to #totality #totalidad #eclipse2019!

Don't know if this camera will actually capture much, but with shades it looks like a celestial Cookie Monster has taken a bite out of the sun #eclipse2019

Probably not visible: drone with which someone is getting spectacular shots #eclipse2019

Not visible without shades: tiny sliver of #moon - transit has begun! #eclipse2019

@tellio That's the start of a similarly-succulent occultish story...
#Eclipse2019 #SmallStories

It seems the #Eclipse2019 #poetry I posted earlier this morning wasn't finished and I've heard the addition has been well-received.

She struggles for the starlight
from everbright Sol,
the source of her glow
through phase both new and full.

As the star recedes
behind her Blue Marble
the dimming is not a wane
it is unexpected, sudden
she panics
gloaming without surcease.

What madness?

Will the Wolf no longer howl?
Will the Owl rest wing and call?
Will the Things of the Night
no longer rise to her
nacreous wooing?

#Eclipse2019

Since the Moon is rising with the coming #Eclipse2019, here's some #poetry I wrote which turned out to be one of my favourites.

Bright, Steady and Proud

If you're still feeling lunar there's plenty more where that came from; she's my most prominent Muse.
