Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun

I looked right at it when I took the glasses off and was fine tbh. Maybe I'm just already blind though.

It mostly looked like any other day as in photo 1, but I got two fuzzy amateur shots with a point-and-shoot @ peak time.
Spoiler for eclipse:
