Having only seen 85% Eclipses I am intrigued as to what makes Totality so awesome with comments like "Life Changing","Greatest thing I have ever seen","It made me cry",I was speechless" being common.
For those who have experienced Totality is it the RARITY of the event that makes it so amazing or is it that the event is so beyond spectacular that nothing else in Nature compares.
Let's say that Sunsets where the Sky becomes "on fire" with spectacular colors everywhere only happened once every 18 months somewhere on the Earth and every other day the Sun just plopped down below the Horizon without a hint of any color.
And let's say that Total Eclipse with Totality happened EACH day everywhere.
Would things be reversed and people would say "I saw a Sunset in my 20s and it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen-I hope to see another one before I die.".
And would people occasionally say things like "Honey,hurry,Totality is so good today,you need to see it ,it is even better than yesterday" or "Honey I booked us a Totality Cruise when we go on Vacation this Summer."
Or would people say that seeing that once in a lifetime Sunset was really cool,but it doesn't compare to the daily Totality.
So is a big part of experiencing Totality the rarity of it or is it just so darn SPECTACULAR that the most magnificent Sunset doesn't even compare.
