Did you watch the solar eclise today?
Were you one of the lucky ones to have witnessed the solar eclipse that took place today?
Across the country, the solar eclipse Sunday seemed to kindle an infectious enthusiasm for astronomy.
In New Mexico's Chaco Canyon, Jay Anderson, a Canadian eclipse expert who runs the website Eclipser, marveled at the spectacle. He particularly enjoyed how the eclipse happened on a Sunday. The last "ring of fire" eclipse Anderson attended in the United States, he said, was "characterized by warnings not to watch and descriptions of the dangers of looking at the Sun, despite the fact that we all do it on occasion."
"This one, being on a Sunday when schools could not intervene with their overly protective attitude, got the whole countryside watching, and the general message seems to have been to go out and enjoy the spectacle, with proper eye protection. It's a good message to carry forward, with a major total eclipse coming to the U.S. in five more years," Anderson wrote to The Times.

travel tips
Since the sun is always up and shining over our Island for a great deal of time inside the day, a forecast for little wind means that you have to wear very light clothes, whereas the stronger the wind is, the bigger the need is for a couple of more ‘heavy’ summer clothes.
Second, make a list of the probable activities that you will be doing on your trip, like visiting, eating, going out, networking etc. This will help give you a clear idea of the types of clothes you’ll need to bring with you, day by day, saving you from carrying clothes that you will probably won’t wear during your vacation in Mykonos.
