Wow,
That was truly a next generation experience. I was worried about the glasses thing, not realizing my area was getting totality. I'm literally in shock on how beautiful that was. I've always thought an eclipse was nothing special. But it's one of the most rare things to see with the human eye. That and the Comet. Which I believe is every 200 years? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'll be back in 2024 for the next one for sure.

I was in class when that happened. I also live in an area where it was only a partial eclipse. I was able to take a quick look through one of the telescopes that my university's Astronomy department had outside, though.

Drove up to Northeast GA and watched it from an overlook in the mountains with the last 3 songs from Dark Side of the Moon playing right up until totality. It was a mesmerizing, truly profound thing to witness. I hope everybody gets a chance to see a totality in their lives.

I wasn't in the path of totality. We had a 99.4% eclipse. Nothing changed. The sun was still as bright as ever. I did see the comet though, it happened about 5 years ago, we had to go all the way out into the country to see it and use binoculars, too. The light was interfering, but seeing all the stars was new to me because I never went out into the pure dark country. The comet looked like a white shiny badminton shuttlecock, but longer. Its definitely something you have to see.

1 回覆We were at like 91% or something here in Colorado. It was cool. Especially how it made the shadows on the ground. What i dont get is how millions of Americans could travel to multiple states for almost a 5 day weekend. Is everyone on welfare or filthy rich? Because most everyone had to work or was at work while it was happening but last estimate i saw was 10-15 million traveled for it as early as Thursday. And close to 50 million celebrated it for hours yesterday. Idk just seems odd. I was at work when it happened and only got to check it out for my 30 min lunch break.
