Also just before full eclipse and just after one could see two crescents - one being a sliver of the sun itself and the other being the edge of the moon looking as if it were on fire. When I first saw the second crescent I thought my eyes were playing tricks
on me until my family confirmed they saw it too. <u></u><u></u></p>

I spent the day in Athens TN at a customer facility. They bought<br>
eclipse glasses for all employees and shut down for about an hour so<br>
they could all watch.<br>
<br>
Totality is spectacular, btw. It was 2-1/2 minutes there.<br>
<br>
No large animals nearby, but the cicadas went nuts.<br>
