"The Sun was eclipsed; it was all gone.
It was like ink and without light.
The stars were visible in the daytime."
-- Hyaku Rensho. (Total solar eclipse of August AD 975)

Temperature dropped about 10 degrees Fahrenheit (or 5 degrees Celsius) during the Totality. It was cold! Even small clouds disappeared around the sun, probably because of such temperature inside moon shadow.
