I live in the Path of Totality, and I absolutely loved the Solar Eclipse! It was the first Total Solar Eclipse in my lifetime, and it lived up to the hype. Plus, where I live, we had beautiful weather. I made sure to wear the appropriate Solar Eclipse glasses, and when four-minute period of totality came through, it was a surreal experience I can't explain.

yes... but i watched the video from the observe in mexico! where total eclipse.
a part i liked was how the shadow "chased overtook" the planet spin. i mean the sun "moves" west as we spin eastward under it and past yet the moon shadow was faster! moving east on surface despite surface spinning toward east.
the shadow advanced from the west coast of mexico racing on the surface around 150 miles in five minutes! amazing!

I did! The clouds parted thankfully, but we did not have totality here. We were maybe 98% or so. I should have driven 45 minutes west lol. But it was still a great experience and cool to look at (with the glasses of course).
I don't think it was seen where I was.. even though they sold the glasses. Local suckers. Have caught a couple in my time though. Even made my own looking glass back then by heavily smoking a shard with a match.

I was also in the path of totality... and we also had 100% cloud cover, lmao... but we knew ahead
Not visible here. Our next one will be 2026 but it's not a big deal seen one before.
I find the moon way prettier that's just it normally nvm when it's crimson to amber.How dark was it? They don't happen often and it was over fifty years where I am. So I am really curious. How did cats and dogs take it?
Yes we did! Our friends hosted an event for it, so we went out and watched it with them. It was beautiful, We had a lot of fun.
I did not watch the solar eclipse, no. I saw pictures of it online though.
Was only like 96% here, was awesome, had to use my welding mask because the glasses where sold out around here

Yes, I didn’t expect it to be so fancy usually those things you can’t see it that well but I have the special sunglasses 🕶️
No it’s pretty non important space business that isn’t worth my time.
No. We only had a partial eclipse. Plus, I was at work. 😅
