I'm a product of a twentieth century education, and yet there's still something freaky about seeing the moon disappear into shadow.

It's too low in the sky for me to see it over the tops of the buildings around me, and I had no way to get to a better spot. :/

Try seeing the freaking sun go out. Your forebrain knows what is happening, but your primal chimps take over and tell you to scream at the thing eating the sun.
