Twice in a single August, the mechanics of the solar system will make themselves visible to the naked eye across North America — first as the moon briefly veils the sun on August 12, then as Earth's own shadow paints the moon a deep copper later in the month. These are not rare in the cosmic sense, but they are rare in the human one: moments when the geometry of our place in space becomes undeniable, and looking up feels less like a hobby than a reminder. Preparation — eclipse glasses for the first, patience for the second — is all that stands between an ordinary evening and a memory.
