San Francisco Public Works Annual Report - Fiscal Year 2017-18 | Page 109

Although San Francisco didn’t fall on the path
of totality, the skies above us were filled with an
essence of drama that even Karl the Fog couldn’t
keep away. During its peak, shortly after 10 a.m.,
the alignment of the moon caused a partial totality,
giving viewers an image of approximately 70
percent of the sun’s light taken over by darkness.
For those who couldn’t get their hands on a pair
of glasses, many turned to resources, such as
tinfoil and cereal boxes, to capture the image of
the moon and sun dance in other creative ways.
