Silver Solar Eclipse

On August 21, 2017, the “Great American Eclipse” cut a path from the Pacific to the Atlantic, giving the entire country a rare, coast‑to‑coast total solar eclipse.

At the same time, the nation’s power grid looked very different from what it did a century earlier. Solar has become a major energy source, and its output depends entirely on sunlight. So when the moon blocked the sun that day, it wasn’t just a dramatic moment — it was a real‑time test of a grid that now relies heavily on solar power.

I’ve got this silver piece with the face of the moon on it ... and the best part is it was made on the day of the 2017 eclipse. It was hand-poured by MrZeke.

It's the face of the moon.
It is full and rounded, and it is smilling!

It’s got that “I know exactly what I did” grin,
like it’s still proud of blocking out the sun for half the country.

During the eclipse, the sky dimmed in middle‑of‑the‑day and this silver moon with a smirking smile is saying. “Yep, that’s me who caused all the drama.”

The country had spent years building a power grid that leans heavily on solar, and here comes the moon, sliding in front of the sun.

It was the first total solar eclipse experience in the U.S. in almost 100 years. Millions hit the road to watch it, towns turned it into a full‑on celebration, and the media put the “Great American” name on it. And once a name like that catches on, it pretty much stays.
