The breeze picked up and the air became markedly cooler as we moved closer to totality: that time in the eclipse that the moon totally covers the sun. Almost as quickly as you could flick a switch, the sky turned dark and the planet Jupiter appeared first. Day had turned to night and an orange glow, as the just set sun, appeared in all directions. Night during the day, stars and planets, a chill in the air. A once-in-a-lifetime event. It was a perfect moment here in rural Nebraska.
