So I have (I anxiously admit) a facebook account because the group of psytrance folk I like to dance with are exclusively there. Three "friends" and I generally click on nothing, just scroll for events....
But there was a post allegedly from NASA that showed a super res/contrast past eclipse, with moon detail and sun corona. Pretty. Could be real, could be fake, don't know, don't care....
But comments were "turned off" so I had to look...
OMFG the crazy. It's breathtaking. NASA deniers, that can't be real, the eclipse hasn't happened yet, rational but misguided folk trying to explain time zones, there's more than one eclipse? no!
Wow.
I was tempted, but did not, click some of the posters' profiles to see if they were russian trolls or something (probably). It's a bit fascinating... but no.
@tomjennings I saw a thing earlier that people were claiming the eclipse would usher in three days of darkness because the earth is actually moving through the photo belt
@tomjennings I think there have always been people like this and there have always been people susceptible to those people, but only sometimes are the conditions right for them to connect with each other in a significant way
