Solar Eclipse!

The day began like a routine morning. The Sun, the Moon and other planets were busy revolving around themselves and around others like they usually did. It was a daily mission for them, and the moon happened to pass between the Sun and the Earth.

All of a sudden, several groups of astronomers and stargazers who happened to supervise the happenings in the outer space, spotted an eclipse in the offing. It was a huge relief for most of the terrestrial beings who got an opportunity to 'look up to' something after a long time. It was a solace 'out and away' from the daily grind.

For astrophysicists, it was a celestial show in the galaxy. The common people were informed (read bombarded) through various media about the rarity of the event. Each one of them thought about being a part of this peculiar event in their own ways.

Special glasses were swapped to view the moon transiting the Sun. There were others who arranged for social gatherings to watch for the astronomical imaging through UV filters. Superstitions cast their freaky shadows over people's day-to-day activities. Shutter bugs were busy chasing those unstable stills. There were still others who never got a chance to 'see', since they were too busy telling others how important it is to get hold of that sight.

The Sun and Moon went as per the designated routes leaving us revolving, yet 'grounded' to our planet, the Earth. Thus, a day was eclipsed... which left people content and flabbergasted with nature's amazing animation.
