Is there a hidden meaning to all this? Well possibly, but that's far above my pay grade! In any case, a total eclipse is a rare and splendid thing that we are privileged to see. In Vermont we won't see a total eclipse, but what appears to be a partial eclipse as we aren't directly below the sun's line of travel over the earth.

Or have a look at my brother's great presentation on eclipses. My brother, Michael Richmond, is an astrophysicist who teaches at Rochester Institute of Technology where he is also the director of the observatory. He's watching the eclipse in Nashville, TN where he's serving as the eclipse expert at a Kimpton Hotel. Good deal for everyone!
