This solar #eclipse happened 5 years ago today, but my memories of it are as vivid as if it had been yesterday. I lived in #Chile back then, so I hopped to ESO's La Silla observatory, which was in the path of totality.

This was my second total solar eclipse, but the fact that we were at high elevation made it unique, as we could see the shadow of the #Moon coming towards us from the Pacific Ocean. My humble pic below doesn't make it justice!
