The eclipse really was incredible. I drove 4 hours to be in the path, and it was like nothing I could have imagined ahead of time.
I agree! We drove a few hours to be in totality and the pictures don’t do it justice, even the good ones don’t capture what it really looked like, and what it felt like. I dont know what I expected but it blew it out of the water by far, one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced, our world suddenly looked and felt different, the moon looked so big, like you could reach out and grab it, the corona looked blue to me, then more white! Just amazing.
We were only 75% here and it was still neat to see, I can’t imagine how cool the totality was. I have family in Ohio that will be in the path for the 2024 one, maybe I should plan on visiting!
Love her.
oh my god she is so EXTRA. she sounds so fake and dramatic, like she’s reading for a voiceover roll for a animated film LOL
but at the same time, the eclipse was cool!
Yeah maybe, but I totally blanked out during totality and probably sounded try hard too, lol. Everyone in our area was freaking out and in awe.
I love her not trying to be cool to be awed by the wonder & beauty of nature.
Agree. Makes me like her more, she wasn’t trying to be social media cool.
I like her too. She’s an odd one but likeable.
This. Totally. The sense of wonder is one of the most precious things a person can have – or lose.
I still remember the August 1999 eclipse.
Good times. Beautiful, beautiful times.
I don’t get the hype. There are eclipses all the time – sure they don’t span from one coast of the USA to the other – but still. I remember multiple solar/lunar eclipses and I’m only 27.
I was only in the path to get around 50% of the eclipse – I didn’t even bother going outside. I left work like 5 minutes after what would have been our peak time and it was just vaguely hazy light as if it was about 3 hours ahead.
There is a HUGE difference between a total eclipse and one that is 75-90%
I didnt see this one but when i was a kid I saw one and it was like nothing else I have ever seen.
The sky was nightime dark, but with a wierd red haze.
the sun/moon took up a huge amount of sky and the orange red fire corona ringing it was almost scary.
Where i was for this one it was 75% and it looked like the regular sun with a chunk out of it
Really? A full eclipse is awe-inspiring. Your statement sounds like someone desperately wanting to come off as cool.
My thoughts exactly. …
We were in the path of totality, and It. Was. AWESOME.
Go to the totality line in 2024! It looks totally different than 50%, or even 99%. Our local weatherman said it’s like seeing a lightning bug vs lightning, two completely different experiences. I was shocked by what it looked like, took my breath away. But, maybe you just aren’t that into this stuff and that’s ok too, lol.
It’s really cool to still have that awe about the planet. I have such a soft spot for SJP.
I was outside with my glasses enjoying the 75% eclipse. Got pics too. It was lovely. At one point the cicadas went wild. Then, absolute silence and ethereal silvery light. It was neat. We should never get too big for our britches to the point where Mother Nature doesn’t blow us away.
Agreed. Well said.
a friend and her husband visiting family in the states was sending me pictures after with the tag #mothernatureschooledustodayaboutmagic
I so envied her but was also happy for her that she had the Chance to something so wonderful.
I was in the path of 100% totality on my rez. Oh god, it was awesome to behold and incredibly terrifying at the same time. I watched it with my sister and when it went to 100% I started crying and shaking and I tried running inside (but she kept me in place). It was eerie! But a once in the a lifetime thing, I just wasn’t mentally prepared for it I don’t think lol
I’m envious of everyone who had such a amazing experience! I was at 90% and barely noticed any difference. It was a bit duskier but not nearly as dark as I’d expected. No change to the birds and wildlife (I was in a wilderness area and I thought I was fairly astute to these things). My kids romping on the beach didn’t seem to notice, other than the cool projections DH was able to create using his glasses. I was pretty surprised by how anti climatic it was, maybe we psyched ourselves up too much. though I am loving all the cool photos coming out. Must get to totality next opportunity!
