I have a distinct memory of holding my father's hand and walking to the observatory (which oddly was across the cul de sac) to see the eclipse. It was cloudy then and to practice focus, we looked at the McDonald's sign across town. The image was inverted, as was the view of the eclipse. My hand was sticky from a slushie at the Dairy Castle and I had to rinse it before touching the equipment. That was in 1979. #scienceissexy #eclipse #seeinganew #daddymemories
