Very cool! 

Totality Over Lake Ontario

Watched it from the only brewery in Jonesboro, AR. Fecking spectacular!

Saw it in northwest Pennsylvania, within the totality zone. Spectacular. I saw the 2017 eclipse, again from within the totality zone, and this one was better.

I don't have a bucket list, but I just started one & crossed off the first item. An awesome day. And I  bonded with people who I will never see again.

Now you're just being silly. Those who were raptured or vaporized by space lasers can't respond here.

Raise your hand if you were raptured or attacked by space lasers during the “eclipse.” Anyone? Bueller?

Just read this.
Galapagos tortoises during the 2017 eclipse suddenly started mating..

Welcome. You made it.

Yeah...we were just under 90 I think.  It was interesting to see (both the moon/sun and the people), but some high clouds made it feel more like possible rain than dark.

Put my welder’s helmet and a couple of etrxa filters on. We only got to 92.5%.

Still waiting to be beamed up to the alien mother ship.  

Pretty cool here in Cleveburg.  Just out in the yard.

Didn't have the special glasses.  Took two pairs of polaroid suns and held them 90 degrees opposed to each other and was able to see the progression.  Slightly rotating the lenses also changed the colors visible as well as the definition.

Then total.  No glasses needed and the flares were easily visible and one was very, very red.

We had two partials back in 93 and 94.  Kind of a yawn.  This was different to be sure.

A total eclipse of the sun was never on my bucket list, but this was definitely a wonderful thing to witness.

Not much has changed since 1907 ...

It's a cotton candy eclipse

The ravens got a bit chatty  just as it started to darken and the air cooled.
