2024 solar eclipse

do NOT look at it without those special glasses. Wish I would've known that.

 

[aauummm]

My light-sensing security lights turned on here in Altoona. They must be very sensitive because it didn't seem that dim out to me.

Pretty cool. I'd guess roughly 90-95% coverage.

Waiting for the kid to wake up from his nap so I can show him.

As a dad, I greatly approve of this joke.

The birds are chirping like it's sunset.

Yeah...that kind of humor gets to me! Props to the guy who runs the NASA Moon account!

That was cool. Stars were out, total night time. Very cool.

Lucky. I think the darkness in the middle of the day would be the coolest part of it all.

In the DM area it was supposed to be about 83% coverage at Max. Of course the closer you are to totality the higher that number gets.

Feels like there’s something else happening to her during that video…

OOOOOOOHHHHH, THAT'S THE SPOT. RIGHT THERE. JUST A LITTLE MORE. PERFECT.

Isnt that how the sky always looks in Washington?

I agree. If I had time and whatever, I would do it and make a trip out of it. This was underwhelming.

Next one in the Contiguous US.....Aug. 23, 2044.

Just experienced totality. Nearly 4.5 minutes. The clouds in Texas cooperated with us! That was awesome! Glowing black dot in the sky indeed. It got almost cold too.

iPhone tried to brighten it up, but you can get an idea of how dark it got lights inside the house are on behind us so it’s causing some shadows too but that was cool

You can now tell your kids you were once "mooned" by God.

Our damn phone did the same light thing. Was completely dark though. Really neat. Watched everyone's garage lights and the street lights flicker then go on fully, then they went back out as it quickly got brighter.
