The 2017 was completely dark and a drastic change and the 2026 eclipse was not. Can someone help explain why?
I watched the 2017 eclipse in a field in Oregon. The change was drastic with temperature drops and immediate reactions from wildlife. The sky also went pitch black.
Watched this eclipse from the top of a hill in Leon, Spain. I guess the weren’t birds and crickets around this time, but the temperatures also did not drop significantly and the sky was still slightly blue and pink during totality.
Anyone have input on the scientific explanation for the difference between the two?
