I spent close to 2 hours fighting a tripod that was in a slight breeze, waiting for just the right moment, & I finally got a perfect picture of the event.
It was a tad grainy, but overall it captured the phenomenon better than anyone else in my news feed, apart from NASA.
It did pretty well, as far as Facebook recognition goes. 19 likes, which is a good sized number for the crowd my posts usually draw.
Then, three days later, I posted another picture. It garnered twice the number of likes, showing that it was clearly more important to people than this historic astronomical event.
What could people possibly love so much more than a once in a generation event that is loaded with historical and religious significance?
Cake.
Obviously.
