Witnessing the Great American Eclipse
In August 2017, millions of people, including Marina Corrin, experienced the great American eclipse, where the moon passed in front of the sun, creating a brief period of totality from Oregon to South Carolina. The eclipse, a cosmic alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, occurs approximately every 18 months, darkening the skies and revealing the sun's corona. The experience of totality evoked primal reactions and a sense of awe, akin to a spiritual encounter, leaving lasting impressions on observers.
