Saw a satellite train tonight crawl across the sky before slowly fading out. It was pretty low and bright in the sky and a amazing sight to see! Also kind of crazy to know how much star power is up there watching over us..

If you get a full solar eclipse when it's cloudy does it look like night

Yes. It looks almost like night with a clear sky. Definitely worth seeing at least once.
