A partial eclipse is like a cool sunset. A total eclipse is like someone broke the sky.

Went to Houston Space Center today and there was a presentation on the eclipse. I guess they will have an event there on ~~Tuesday~~ Monday, but at HSC they are only going to be 90%.

I'm planning to see it from Dallas, but I really wanted to speak up when she said "it's still gonna be great".

It will be nothing compared to actually being in totality. And I don't know why anybody in greater Houston that has the day off would spend it at HSC instead of actually inside the path.
