A comment on Eclipses and Decibels.

The main source of light during totality is the ring of daylight around the horizon. It looks like sunset in every direction.

I wonder how dark an eclipse could get under optimal conditions (wide track, and heavy overcast all around except in the path of the shadow).

It looks weirdly different as everything about it is backwards. Blue sky is beyond the sunset, but the light is coming from above you.
