Sun Muchin

We were able to taste a little bit of the sun this morning here in the land of the rising sun - a solar eclipse with 80% coverage. And boy was it delicious!

The Japanese word for solar eclipse is 日食 (NiShoku), literally means sun eating. Pretty fun when you think about it.

I've never experienced a solar eclipse, at least not one that I stood outside and watched. I know this wasn't as rare as a total solar eclipse. Nonetheless, it was a pretty special moment to catch a glimpse of the moon eating the sun from the other side of the world.
