As a science journalist — nay, a space journalist — I have to be honest about something. It's a secret I haven't admitted to anyone yet; the first time this article is edited before publication will actually be the first time someone hears what I have to say. I'm honestly a little worried about the repercussions. Um, here I go.

I have never really cared much about solar eclipses.
