So, on the morning of the Spring Equinox, we were fortunate enough to witness a total eclipse here.
Just before waking at 9am, (the eclipse reached fullness around 9.30ish..) I had this dream -

I am standing watching the Moon sliding in front of the Sun, it quickly reaches Total Eclipse.
As the sky goes dark, the stars are revealed all around the Sun's ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I see the Pleiades and Orion constellations to the left of the Sun.
I get my phone out to take a picture, and as i look thru the screen, I see not only the stars, but a technical readout appears, giving the names of each star, and relevant information regarding their size, mass etc, along with distances from each major system to the next.
The info is only visible around each star system as i look at it...when i divert my gaze to another, it disappears and the new system's info appears.
I take a snapshot of this amazing celestial sight, and wake up just in time to go out into my garden and watch it happen for real. :cool:
