The sky was overcast so the sun was barely visible. The eclipse was partial and honestly I didn&#8217;t think it got that much darker, even. So maybe it was like late afternoon instead of midday&#8230; Not at all as dark as in this photo; I had to underexpose this a lot to keep the sun from being a bright blob.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why I wasn&#8217;t too impressed was that I have actually seen a full eclipse, and that actually felt like a proper eclipse. Darkness in the middle of the day, stars visible in a clear sky, birds all falling quiet &#8211; the real deal. I remember watching the eclipse through sooted glass.<\/p>\n<p>That was the eclipse of 1990. I lived in Estonia at the time, and the full eclipse was visible in just a tiny corner of Estonia. How lucky for us that this tiny bit of the eclipse touched the mainland! It doesn&#8217;t look like I will get another chance during my lifetime, unless we move, or travel somewhere to catch a future eclipse.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.popast.nu\/2015\/03\/se-solformorkelsen-den-20-mars-2015-allt-du-behover-veta\/\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/Eclipse_map.jpg\" style=\"width:501px; height:365px;\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solar eclipse.
