Just wondering, has anybody else here seen the solar eclipse? I was happening to be doing homework when it got darker all of a sudden. I looked outside, and it looked very weird, it was light outside yet dark at the same time. So, I went out to see what was going on, looked at the sun, and saw that it was a crescent. Unfortunately it wasn’t a total eclipse, those things never happen in my area. 
Don’t worry, I’ve never seen an eclipse, crescent or not, in my life. 
That just doesn’t happen here, and from what I know, only part of the America was able to see it even fully or partially.
It’s so cloudy where I live that the eclipse is forever. But I still missed checking for it. It wasn’t very well advertised for me until today 
It’s funny that you said so, a solar eclipse was visible in Australia in 1999 and the next one is coming this year!
