Agree, the experience of an eclipse is something you really shouldn't miss out on. The weirdest thing for me was how cold it got, even though the intensity of the light didn't change. Everything looked as if it was still full daylight, but it felt so very, very wrong. It really helped you understand how an event like that could scare people before astronomy, since it's like removing a huge constant of life, throwing everything into uncertainty. The second thing you really should have on your bucket list is the northern lights. Not exactly astronomy, but you're looking at a night sky, so... The most surprising thing about the northern lights is how big it is. Pictures don't do it justice, it's not a thing in the sky, instead the entire sky is on fire and wobbling.
