Except if you’re on that line—the way of entirety—you’ll just see a halfway shroud. The contrast between a total solar eclipse and a fractional one is, in a real sense, the distinction between night and day, so find yourself mixed up with the way of entirety if possible! The nearer you are to the focal point of that way, the more extended entirety, the most extreme place of the eclipse, will endure.
