About an hour ago, the #Artemis2 astronauts saw a solar eclipse from behind the Moon, if I understand correctly (do correct me if I don't).
What Pilot Victor Glover said about it sounded so cool that I added it as an example of using the adjective "wicked" to the English #Wiktionary.

What commander Reid Wiseman said about it is cool, too: "It’s indescribable. No matter how long we look at this, our brains are not processing this image in front of us. It is absolutely spectacular, surreal, there’s no adjectives. I’m gonna need to invent some new ones to describe what we’re looking at right now." The words "indescribable" and "adjective" already have relevant quotations in the English #Wiktionary, so despite the historicity of the moment, I won't overload it with even more.
