That was radicchial! Thanks, @NYPL and U.S. National Science Foundation for the free, effective staring-at-sun specs. Our pal Magda learned on NPR that in an eclipse the shadows through a colander shows little crescents... Lovely moon shot by Matthew Hopkins, from the Zone of Totality (band name!).

Thanks for solar eclipse glasses. I’m so excited. #nsfeclipse

We love seeing you stay safe in your official NSF #eclipse glasses!
