        Composite indeed! But an accurate composite, if such a thing is allowed to exist, reflecting an accurate Tweet.

        Oh, absolutely! Didn't intend for that to sound like I was disputing the accuracy of the tweet, but the flat-earthers already retweeted me..

        That was most likely Venus, since it's facing NW at my latitude at the time of day that totality occurred.
