Charm of 75-Second Cosmic Diamond
Why were people ready to cover long distances for an event lasting just 1 minutes and 15 seconds? This must be due to some “virus” or because of the unique charm of a total solar eclipse (TSE).
“Over the last five years, I have been an old pensioner turning into a semi-professional eclipse hunter who doesn’t want to lose an opportunity to observe a total solar eclipse.”
(Dutch astronomer Bart J. Bok, Kompas, 12 June 1983)
