Because, you know, most of us got to see a partial eclipse, the sliver, the crescent of the sun, which I found, you know, I thought I was going to be under.
voice-verified
Well, I wasn't sure what I was going to feel, but I was really, really impressed by it.
voice-verified
I think many of our listeners probably were, too.
voice-verified
But you were going after the total eclipse.
voice-verified
Yes.
voice-verified
Why was that and what was your mission in trying to get there to see that particular moment?
voice-verified
So I know you were trying to juggle a lot of equipment at the time
voice-verified
capture this moment for your research.
voice-verified
But what exactly did you see when the moon covered the sun and the total eclipse happened?
voice-verified
absolutely, yeah.

voice-verified
had to physically open a window.
voice-verified

voice-verified
You're mid-flight and you're opening the window to push a telescope out.
