The word historic applies to today's solar eclipse, even here where we get a less-than-full eyeful. The word hysterical also fits, at least in Twitter's orbit -- a universe all its own.
Kate Upton tweets the amusing Instagram portrait at right with this text:
Getting excited to see the #solareclipse !! Hopefully everyone has their #isocertifiedglasses
Here's more from around Metro Detroit, starting with one from the Detroit Institute of Arts with a vintage black-and-white photo here:
Happy #SolarEclipse2017! Pictured here are #DiegoRivera, #FridaKahlo & others watching the #SolarEclipse of Aug. 31, 1932 at the DIA.
I'm so excited. For real. Even here in the land of the partial eclipse. How lucky we are to be around for this! Space! Exclamation points!!! https://t.co/SQuHOjswI3
