I give a report on my experience of the 2024 eclipse with, as always, a side journey into a conversation about the unluckiest astronomer ever: Guillaume Le Gentil. Plus, an announcement! For reals this time!
Thanks to my daughter and wife for the pictures and video of the eclipse.
If you're interested in my book, the Amazon link is here. As I said in the video, a new print version will be coming out. But you can at least see if it's the sort of thing that might interest you. www.amazon.com/Water-Lily-Pon...
