    Real strong vibes of when my childhood home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and fundamentalists said it was because of abortion, or because of how many gay people are in New Orleans

    they'd even take radar images of the hurricane and say it looked like a fetus. Absolute medieval peasant brain

    Love how these fucking freaks are taking one of the most awe-inspiring events one can experience and somehow making it about woke.

    Maybe we should sacrifice MTG so the sun god is pleased ?

    geordi-no Monday's eclipse was predicted hundreds of years ago, it will not have been caused by contemporary actions

    rust-darkness Time is a flat circle.

    God can’t be too mad or he would make this eclipse have a 7 min totality like the one that will happen July 16, 2186. He’s just medium mad, so calm down.

        First, the Moon’s distance from Earth varies over its orbit. Second, Earth’s elliptical orbit causes the Sun’s distance and apparent diameter to vary by about 3 percent from perihelion (closest approach) to aphelion (farthest approach). Near the sunrise and sunset terminators, the Moon’s shadow hits Earth’s surface at a steep angle. This geometry causes the shadow to move quickly with respect to the surface, which shortens totality’s duration.

    Pray that God doesn't have enough Djinn set to summon eclipse.
