Fishel: My list of incredible experiences at WRAL grew yesterday
WRAL Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel describes how watching the total solar eclipse from Clingman's Dome made him feel on Monday.
Posted — UpdatedWell, I'm nowhere near ready for the cessation of that growth pattern, and yesterday's eclipse was certainly a very worthy addition.
It's just remarkable to me that the ratio of the moon's diameter to the sun's diameter is about the same as the ratio of the earth-moon distance to the earth-sun distance, thus allowing us to see a total solar eclipse, while still being able to see the sun's outer atmosphere.
If any of those numbers are a little different, all of this is for nought. Maybe there's something providential about that? Later this week, I'll post a blog with a bit more detail, but for now, suffice it to say I'm in recovery mode and still trying to process what I experienced yesterday!
