There are headlines about Nixon, abortion, and local landmarks shuttering in Detroit. We get an opening page that uses newspaper snippets to let readers know what’s happening in Detroit, 1973. Having established all of this allows Abbott 1973 #1 to dive right into a set of interesting changes that will power this new narrative forward.

It's like standing on an alien world, looking at a sky you've never seen before. It's the closest thing to space travel that any of us will get to experience. ![]() "A partial solar eclipse is interesting," Baron says. The difference was like, well, night and day: While a partial eclipse presents a black thumbnail obscuring a slice of the sun, in a total eclipse the moon covers the face of the sun and the sky plummets into darkness, exposing the spectacular silvery radiance of the corona and a celestial gathering of planets and stars. In 1998 Baron traveled to Aruba to witness his first total eclipse. Baron, who was working as a science correspondent for National Public Radio at the time and preparing a piece about a partial eclipse, took the advice to heart. Twenty-three years ago, an astronomer named Jay Pasachoff told David Baron that he owed it to himself to experience at least one total solar eclipse before he died. ![]() |
