Total Solar Eclipse Temporary Tattoo
On average, a total solar eclipse happens somewhere on Earth every 18 months. Most only last around 2 to 3 minutes, and while the longest one possible is 7 minutes and 32 seconds, we won't see one that long until June 25, 2150. Eclipses happen because although the sun is 400 times further away than the moon, the sun is also 400 times the diameter of the moon. This together creates a perfect storm where the moon can perfectly cover the sun, exposing the outer corona in a dramatic spectacle. People who experience solar eclipses describe them as the world standing still, birds stop singing, and dusk is seen in every direction. For a few brief moments, the familiar becomes something you will likely never see again. Since a total solar eclipse only passes over the same place about once every 360 to 410 years on average, people travel across the world just to experience those few minutes of fleeting beauty.
This tattoo lasts 4-5 days.
