That looks completely unhealthy and delicious! Serious food envy right now.

here's a picture of me holding an ordinary screwdriver. Note the crescent shaped ghosting (my fingers did not extend beyond the shaft of the handle; and the gap between my fingers wasn't as pronounced . . . crescent-bent light was sneaking through and expanding). Also note that the top of the shadow is crisp and the bottom blurred. The crescent of the sun was on the top at this point, so there's an inversion going on too.
and note the ghosting of crescent shadows off the ordinary metal shaft of the screwdriver.

There were more interesting objects/observations/phenomena; but this is the one where my daughter happened to be close by with camera/phone.

I'm sure a lot of y'all saw this kind of stuff. Cool tho, huh?
(except for Doffy, getting eaten alive by ...... sea-worms)

As you probably know, the first actual proof of Einstein's theory of general relativity was done during a solar eclipse. He predicted that the mass of the sun would bend the light of distant stars behind the sun's corona. Sure enough it was physically observed that light does bend as a result of gravitational force and the curvature of space time. For science geeks like us a solar eclipse isn't just a little alignment trick of nature ;)

I think you just hurt my brain.
