And since the sun is 400,000 times brighter than the full moon, then he will see the sky still 16,000 times brighter than a full moon. Now in all the gobbledygook, I still have not found out exactly how dark totality will be. But I have seen one figure suggesting it is 99.9% dark. So 4% is still 40 times brighter than that. I have seen some reference a full moon too, and so the answer is somewhere between 40 to 16,000 times brighter than someone actually in totality.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">I’m still waiting to see a real answer.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Bob</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"> </span></p></blockquote></div></div></div></body></html>
