摘要

Last August 11 my wife and I found ourselves in the countryside of southern Hungary preparing to watch a total eclipse of the Sun. Luck was with us; an overcast, rainy morning gave way to clear skies an hour or two before totality began near midday. Although it wasn't our first total solar eclipse, we were nevertheless caught up in the fascination the event always brings: the increasingly eerie quality of the dying light as the moon relentlessly gnaws its way across the face of the sun, the expectant hush of the staring people around us, the sudden cries of awe as, in this case, the diamond ring phenomenon suddenly flashes into view. And with the closing darkness the local birds, true to form, set off to roost in the nearby trees, twittering in bewilderment at the early coming of night. I was immediately reminded of the story of Thomas Edison and the chickens.
