Describing the eclipse as the "black sun" is a great touch Jennisea! I like how you highlight the reactions people have to such a powerful phenomenon, especially if you didn't have the scientific knowledge necessary to understand it.
This is top 2 definitely! Good job.
Creative! I loved it, well done! :)
