Having seen one a couple of years ago (11th aug. 1999, path of totality on
northern France), I concur with your depiction of the event. Perhaps the most
chilling effect, in all meanings of the word, is the sudden fall of the
temperature ; makes the crowd almost shivers. You can feel in your flesh that
something "important" is happening, just like when the music stops in an
horror movie. Except it is real.
