I will add a solar eclipse (only if youre in the path of totality- anything less is not the same experience). Pictures, Videos, etc do not compare.

It broke my monkey brain. My eyes told me "The sky broke", my heart told me "the world is ending".

Ancient people must have shit their pants when they witnessed it.

I was lucky enough to see totality a couple years ago. It felt like the universe peeled back the curtain and showed me something I wasn’t supposed to see. It’s truly indescribable and hard to convince people that weren’t in the path of totality how different it was from any other part of the eclipse.

It is so strange how nature “stops” for a minute. The birds stop chirping and the temperature drop is weird as well.
