Look at it during an eclipse, and it’s the hidden object-in this case Obama-not the obscuring one, that knocks your socks off. Try to look at the sun at any other time and it’s an exercise in pain and gaze aversion. It’s the brilliance of the solar corona-the veil of incandescent gasses that stream millions of miles into space. It’s not the black disk that the moon creates at the moment of totality that transfixes us so-that’s just a hole in the sky. So let’s consider too that it is during an eclipse that the sun in some ways shows itself most brightly. This surely isn’t where President Trump wanted to go, but hey, once you invite science to the dinner party, you don’t get to ask it to leave just because you don’t like the jokes it’s telling. But it’s also 400 times closer, so it appears much bigger than it is-its size and importance a mere illusion of proximity. The rock is tiny-400 times smaller than the big, bright thing. Eclipses happen because every now and then, in predictable but still primally unsettling cycles, a warm, bright, life-giving object is obscured by a dark, dead, insensible rock.

Then, of course, there’s the scientific-and this is perhaps one Trump should have thought about a little bit more than he apparently did.

There’s exhaustion: The eclipse? The eclipse? We’re now politicizing the eye-widening, soul-stirring, kumbaya-fest that was the total solar eclipse? Feel free to go lie down in a darkened room if you’d like. There’s indifference: Trump’s retweet finger is a finely honed instrument, designed for speed, not discernment. This one is even tougher than most, since there are so many different approaches you could take. It’s never terribly easy to parse Presidential tweets.
