The best eclipse ever?
By Aronymous
This morning, in the middle of an almost hour-long Tweet storm, President Trump retweeted the following image, which he got from the Jerry Travone Twitter page:

On the one hand it shows you where Trump hangs out, what he spends his working day doing. Travone, who calls himself “a YouTube Actor and Political Junkie, Proud Trump supporter and pushback against liberalism,” has tweeted things like this: “We have enough of these Jews where I live… Someone Else Take Them”, and he has YouTube videos attacking for example “Kapernick” who he says can… but watch it yourself, if you (like Trump?) have 20 minutes for stuff as distasteful as this.
But my main point is that Travone, and by extension Trump, does not understand how eclipses work: it is not the bright glowing star that occludes the dark black body. It’s the other way around. The dark, dead wanna-be planet, the moon, obscures the bright light-giving star that is 400 times larger for a short period of time.
So to set things straight I offer you a corrected version of the “Best Eclipse Ever”, one that shows the recent eclipse event more accurately:

Animals freak out when this kind of thing happens. But it passes — after four minutes at the very most.
