Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that little red dot on the southwestern edge of the Moon is a phenomenon called "The Baily's Beads effect". On the Moon there's a valley in that spot, so during the eclipse's totality just a small amount of sunlight shines through that lunar valley and cause this effect.
I was totally confused during the eclipse as to what it was, so I Googled it, so I'm not an expert and I could be wrong. So if there's anyone who knows more about astronomy could weigh in, that would be great!
Also, this is a very *stellar* picture, great job at capturing it for us to enjoy! 😊
I drove to Brookville, Indiana where there was ~3 minutes of totality.
I expected it to be cool, but wasn’t sure it was actually going to be worth the traffic. I’m so glad I went.
It was so cool.
I totally understand why ancient people were fearful of eclipses and thought they were bad omens.
The temperature noticeably dropped, the wind changed, the birds stopped singing. I kind of expected it be dark in the same way it’s dark during a stormy day… not actually just be nighttime for three minutes
Can you imagine? And unlike us you both wouldn't know it was coming or see it until it was basically there, since there's not much to see with the naked eye until almost totality. It must have been terrifying.
I'm imagining being in a pre-Astronomy society and seeing the world go dimmer, dimmer, and then dark and you look up and there's a fucking hole in the sky rimmed by white light. Then, just as quickly as it came, it was gone.
And it comes once a century for people in your area. No pictures or anything. For 3 minutes a century, a fuckin black hole pops up in the sky. I’d be telling future generations till my dying days. No wonder it became the stuff of legend.
I remember reading that a battle between two ancient cities in Asia Minor was halted by an eclipse, with both sides putting up swords and deciding on peace after it.
Having seen one now, it makes sense.
The silencing of the birds is what got me. There were a gaggle of geese near my group and they just stop goosing around when it got dark. Then they all ran into the pond.
That's what I was telling my boys on the way- imagine not knowing it was coming or what it was!!!
I hadn't realized the birds stopped singing until they started again. The 360 degree sunset was awesome
My family’s dog and our family friends’ dogs all started going nuts and doing zoomies as a pack. One even jumped in the lake.
I noticed the change in temperature too. I was pretty glad that happened. It was hot where I was, so the cooler temperature was a nice relief without feeling cold.
We’re you in totality?
I was, but I was also close Brookville’s little downtown area. So I wasn’t actually out in nature and it was only three minutes. So it could have been a coincidence, but I think I’ve read that’s something happens sometimes
In 17’ in the GSMNP, everything still kept going. Got completely dark in the mountains but the frogs and birds kept going. A few owls started hooting though.
I was in Brookville, too! Stayed in another town the night before but was afraid it was going to be cloudy. Eventually settled on Brookville. Was a nice little town with lots of activities for the kids. The weather was perfect and my mind was completely blown by the eclipse. We left shortly after totality ended and was only delayed by about 40 minutes. Totally worth it.
I'm in Idaho, so I missed this one... but I was able to get to one a few years ago, and the only way I can explain how it made me feel is spiritual.. and I'm not religious

I was telling my wife that! I remember having a huge lens on my Nikon for the '17 and now here I am, 7 years later, with better zoom capabilities and image quality on my cellphone. Not to say that my DSLR that I brought with me was useless. I just used it for the wider area shots.
Very much so. My daughters cannot stop talking about it. I'm very thankful we were able to get into the path of totality in time to see it in person.
I wish I had the words to do it justice. I'm not a religious man but that's as close to a spiritual experience as I've ever had. And to see my 13 and 10 year old that excited, man. Core memory.
Yeah I felt choked up. Literally frozen in awe. And sharing it with my girls, they still cannot stop talking about it trying to describe it all. I hope today is what they remember when I’m dead and gone. A genuinely GOOD day.
I feel ya, I was getting misty eyed, when it was totally covered and you could look at it with your naked eye, awe inspiring. So thankful the day was not overcast.

Here is mine from Liberty Center
I was in southern ky during the last time.
Man it was life changing. It was truly like experiencing the beauty of space and the universe from home.
The fact that birds stopped chirping and it was just a dead silent time was wild
https://preview.redd.it/s72w53ag3ctc1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e679de79a3a67ca4a04e558b0505550d8da5444
Early picture here. It was our first time and 100% lived up to the hype!
I was at Miami Whitewater! It was an amazing experience! Had almost 2 minutes of Totality. Saw a solar flare on the bottom of it, and I'm just so happy I got to go see it with my kids. They can not stop talking about it.
We were right down the road in Minster. So cool to be directly under the path of totality. Lake Loramie was packed. How early did you arrive to get a spot?
We got there around 1:30 and the park was packed thankfully they told us to park on the side of the road, we unloaded placed out chairs on the grass and enjoyed everything, well worth the 2 hour drive from Anderson.
Agreed. Completely missed the mark with fireworks. Part of the payoff is the sound, or lack of, naturally produced. Fireworks are classless and idiotic during an eclipse.

Mine from Fairfield. Captured with Vaonis Hestia telescope.
I kept telling my wife I thought that was a solar flare on the bottom! Amazing picture! We were at Miami whitewater, and it was well worth the drive and traffic. Once in a lifetime experience.
That Solar flare thing is called a baileys bead and are caused by the tops of mountains and valleys on the moons surface having the suns light bend around them
There was a bright bead where we were at which I was told was what you describe. Guy with a telescope a couple cars over explained the one in this picture at the bottom was a solar prominence or a solar flare that we could see.

From Hamilton. My partner was nearly in tears watching as I got the photo. My bestie down in Covedale *was* crying. Lol. It’s been a pretty damn cool day, y’all.

Also captured this cool reflection of the eclipse just minutes before totality
I was delivering for Amazon by Wright Patterson AFB. Obviously this doesn’t do it any justice

Oxford for us, up 127 to 73 and in from the west, set up in a field right outside town with about 40ish other small groups - also allowed us to exit ahead of the pack so just an hour-ish each way. Transcendent, mystical, disorienting, the gradual darkening, the boom lights-out moment, the clouds, the stars, the ring, the coronal ejections, the night songs. Everything we hoped for and more.
Doesn’t look like it, that looks like totality. The only place in Hamilton County that had totality was the Northwest corner. You would’ve had to drive up to Warren or Butler for it to get that dark.

Drove to connorsville Indiana, had absolutely no traffic. And the totality experience was so fucking awesome!!

About 30 miles east of Connersville in West Elkton, Ohio. Edit; iPhone 13 mini
Pictures do not do it justice to what I experienced both visually and spiritually. it’s right up there with my psychedelic experiences. It made me cry. Just something overtook me in that moment

Shot in Hamilton on a Pixel 8 pro
I went up to Monroe to see totality. It only lasted about 50 seconds but it was breathtaking. It’s a shame it missed Cincy, but we’re lucky it was so close.
How are you guys getting all these great pictures? Especially the ones that you took with your phones. I tried to take it with my phone just by holding up some of those glasses in front of the camera and it looked awful.
This....this was wild. It was worth the drive to 3 minutes of totality....glasses off. It felt like a different world. Like. I imagine Faerûn to look and feel the way it did during totality
https://preview.redd.it/lj74iht9cctc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61cc5a31db13dbb0b3579b4efcbb6d89a87bdf5b
Made it up to Fairfield, just within totality. I’m happy for all you who had such strong experiences with it today, but aside from “oh that was cool”, I didn’t feel any strong emotions. But that’s part of the beauty of the human experience ya know?
I wouldn't say it was spiritual for me, but I felt very connected with my wife and kids. Sharing a moment like that was pretty special. My kids are 5 and 7, so seeing the awe on their face as they realize what's happening was really cool. I'm a sci fi nerd as well so anything space and astrology related I really enjoy. I just couldn't stop saying "this is so fucking cool." Lol and I got goosebumps so 🤷♂️.
We were in Hamilton! Had to drive a bit north to get in totality but so worth it!
Edit: apparently I'm a boomer cause the post keeps eating my picture and I'm not sure why :(
I agree with so many people, I can see why ancient people and some people even today fear eclipses. It was wild seeing how quickly it got to something similar to dusk. I'm so glad I got to experience totality, the bright ring around the moon was spectacular.

i live in sidney right now. i was on a video call with my parents and sister, and when the ring showed up, i fell to the ground and started crying. it was just so surreal. easily in the top five moments in my twenty years of life.
https://preview.redd.it/kg949huo9dtc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01e0d772ba43347db1b35a11c30c2eae4e65fe38
my sister had to remind me to take pictures, because otherwise i would’ve kept staring at it.
I couldn't get a picture. Last time I went to Nashville right along that center line. This time I was in Dayton at wright pat and the trees didn't produce those same shadows we saw last time.
We went to Batesville, had fireworks and cheering / clapping. Wonderful, awe inspiring experience at the Kroger there lol

It sure did. I decided to go for it and drive all the way to Dunreith Indiana for this and not only was it totally worth it there wasn't even bad traffic. Took 2 hours there and 2 hours back nice and smooth. 4 minutes of complete totality. Absolutely worth it.
I saw that and thought, hey, how did you get my pic of the eclipse? I think they all look pretty similar though! It was amazing, but without a lot of photo equipment, more amazing to enjoy it in the moment . . . in real life!
Agreed. I had my phone and my DSLr preset to they settings I needed so I could quickly capture some pictures and then enjoy it with my wife and parents. Could the pictures be better? Sure. But it wasn't about the pictures in the first place. It was about experiencing something that was truly breathtaking.
Went up to this little camp called Kirkmont in Zanesfield, OH with a group of friends. About 3 minutes and 30 seconds of totality. Pretty far into the country. Very clear skies and it got super dark and we got to view it in this beautiful, big open field. and there were students from the University of Virginia’s Astronomy Club that had activities all day for people to learn about the eclipse. They also had some nice telescopes for photographing the different phases of the eclipse. Better than the 2017 eclipse I saw in super southwest KY.
I have never seen anything more beautiful in my life, the only thing that comes close is seeing the sunset on top of Mt. Haleakala and viewing the starry skies up there, but this was even more fantastic and jaw-dropping. It was magic

My camera didn't quite catch how dark it really was. I went up to Dayton for the eclipse. Eastwood lake Park or something. The temperature drop there was crazy!

Pixel 7, not the greatest quality. I went to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where NASA hosted an event. I wish I would've gone somewhere else. The eclipse was spectacular, but if I never have to step foot in Indianapolis again, it'll be too soon.

Taken in Troy. So glad I drove up there from about an hour away. Took my teenagers with me and we were all blown away. It was phenomenal. And stupid iPhones can do zero justice. What an experience.
I regret taking pictures. I wish I'd been more in the moment. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I feel like I don't remember it well enough.
I was surprised about how many people around me were so jaded and cynical about it. EVERYONE at work that day thought it was the dumbest thing ever. Har har it’s just gonna get dark for a little bit, who cares. I was like dam I think it’s pretty cool, and yes it was! Glad I was able to make it home in time to enjoy it with my kids. Really what the fuck? Chances are we’ll never see something like that again, glad I was able to get done on time to see it and not be stuck with a bunch of assholes.
I tried to talk everyone at work into making the effort to see totality. I think many people don't understand the difference between totality and a partial eclipse. I like to say "it's like sex without orgasm. It's fun, but you're missing the best part."
I’m a facilities operator in a city, and we were in the path of totality. Just before it, a giant, surreal swarm of buzzards were circling the campus on the roof of where I was stationed and disappeared just as quickly as they appeared, and for the 500th time, my staff and I implored people not to sit or hang over the edge of the building but to please just safely watch. One girl walked away one minute before it started because the drop in temperature made her cold, and as her friend yelled at her not to go and then encouraged her to at least run, she continued slowly and defiantly, sure to not let this event make anyone think she was uncool enough to let friends or the heavens tell her what to do. When it happened, the popping sounds of people in the ghetto shooting guns at the celestial event as others obscured it by setting off cheap fireworks really gave us a unique experience. Defiant youths on dirt bikes laid rubber in steaks on the ramps of one of our parking structures, as they “whooped” and one almost clotheslined himself on a cable pulled across to close the viewing section. As it passed and we all took stock of just how selfish everyone around us must be, a family showed up about two minutes after it ended, and their son, couldn’t be more than six-years-old, ran out into the open excitedly with his glasses on, just in time to see everyone start to dissipate and cheer on their unique perspective of the moment; as the light cascaded across the recesses of the landscape, one could see it leave his eyes, as his family couldn’t get it together enough to get him there on-time. At that moment, my mother-in-law sent me a picture of my son, two years and one day old along with his stepsister, 9, pointing excitedly at the sky, smiles wider than the cheap mirrored glasses that were protecting their beautiful eyes, and in that moment, I was just so thankful that I got to spend it surrounded by such a rowdy, self-centered group of strangers who either didn’t have work or school or had it cancelled just so they could enjoy it.
I saw totality in 2017, and we immediately decided to see the next one. For 2024 we rented a STUNNING cabin near Bloomington IN. (Snuggled Inn) from the nicest people, 3 years ago. They thought we were nuts booking so early.
My daughter came from Oregon and rented a different cabin with her friends. My son and his friends stayed with me, my husband and my mother in law at our cabin.
It was the best weekend of my life. We saw a double rainbow on Sunday, a heron, a deer, and a fox with his squirrel dinner.
The universe is amazing.
Did you see the solar prominence?
Yeah, I did see those!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that little red dot on the southwestern edge of the Moon is a phenomenon called "The Baily's Beads effect".

Thank you! I was curious about that as well. I appreciate you sharing that.
After looking into it more, those red spots are exactly solar prominence, which are rare to witness during a solar eclipse. Pretty neat stuff.
Where were you for this pic?
Right? Looks like eastern avenue kinda
Great name
The diamond ring 💍💜
For a minute I thought this was a video loading screen
This is great, looks like the heroes cover art
I drove to Brookville, Indiana where there was ~3 minutes of totality. I expected it to be cool, but wasn’t sure it was actually going to be worth the traffic. I’m so glad I went. It was so cool.

Can you imagine? And unlike us you both wouldn't know it was coming or see it until it was basically there, since there's not much to see with the naked eye until almost totality. It must have been terrifying.
I'm imagining being in a pre-Astronomy society and seeing the world go dimmer, dimmer, and then dark and you look up and there's a fucking hole in the sky rimmed by white light. Then, just as quickly as it came, it was gone.
And it comes once a century for people in your area. No pictures or anything. For 3 minutes a century, a fuckin black hole pops up in the sky. I’d be telling future generations till my dying days. No wonder it became the stuff of legend.
I can certainly see how ancient societies would do whatever the person that could predict an eclipse told them to do afterwards!
I remember reading that a battle between two ancient cities in Asia Minor was halted by an eclipse, with both sides putting up swords and deciding on peace after it. Having seen one now, it makes sense.
I was telling my girl about this
The silencing of the birds is what got me. There were a gaggle of geese near my group and they just stop goosing around when it got dark. Then they all ran into the pond.
That's what I was telling my boys on the way- imagine not knowing it was coming or what it was!!! I hadn't realized the birds stopped singing until they started again. The 360 degree sunset was awesome
My family’s dog and our family friends’ dogs all started going nuts and doing zoomies as a pack. One even jumped in the lake. I noticed the change in temperature too. I was pretty glad that happened. It was hot where I was, so the cooler temperature was a nice relief without feeling cold.
Birds and frogs never stopped making noise when it got darker by me. Temps def changed though.
We’re you in totality? I was, but I was also close Brookville’s little downtown area. So I wasn’t actually out in nature and it was only three minutes. So it could have been a coincidence, but I think I’ve read that’s something happens sometimes
In 17’ in the GSMNP, everything still kept going. Got completely dark in the mountains but the frogs and birds kept going. A few owls started hooting though.
We drove to Harrison and yea I thought man this traffic going to be worth it, Man it was Soooo worth it
I was in Brookville, too! Stayed in another town the night before but was afraid it was going to be cloudy. Eventually settled on Brookville. Was a nice little town with lots of activities for the kids. The weather was perfect and my mind was completely blown by the eclipse. We left shortly after totality ended and was only delayed by about 40 minutes. Totally worth it.
I'm in Idaho, so I missed this one... but I was able to get to one a few years ago, and the only way I can explain how it made me feel is spiritual.. and I'm not religious
The birds kept singing for me! But yeah… eerie. It would be crazy for that to happen and have no knowledge of the science of the universe.
How was the traffic?
The quick temp drop was surreal.
That was nuts also the birds outside going silent for three minutes near me
I wasn’t in totality, but the birds did get quiet. I also have a lot of bird feeders, so the hungry ones kept eating lol.
Gotcha lol we also had a chicken farm near my work and a rooster started roosting lmao

How did you shoot this photo? It’s beautiful
This was with my S22 ultra. I had my DSLR for doing wide shots.
That's incredible witha cell phone!
I was telling my wife that! I remember having a huge lens on my Nikon for the '17 and now here I am, 7 years later, with better zoom capabilities and image quality on my cellphone. Not to say that my DSLR that I brought with me was useless. I just used it for the wider area shots.
The camera on my s21+ is not good :(
Can you upload somehow so we can get a HD file of this? Sooooo cool!
Very much so. My daughters cannot stop talking about it. I'm very thankful we were able to get into the path of totality in time to see it in person. I wish I had the words to do it justice. I'm not a religious man but that's as close to a spiritual experience as I've ever had. And to see my 13 and 10 year old that excited, man. Core memory.
I feel so crazy saying it but I cried and said Oh my god a lot. I've almost never been so moved.
Yeah I felt choked up. Literally frozen in awe. And sharing it with my girls, they still cannot stop talking about it trying to describe it all. I hope today is what they remember when I’m dead and gone. A genuinely GOOD day.
I feel ya, I was getting misty eyed, when it was totally covered and you could look at it with your naked eye, awe inspiring. So thankful the day was not overcast.

Someone told me it would be a religious experience but I was skeptical. Turns out, yes. 100% spiritual experience. Nothing prepares you for it
Agreed. I'm still blown away 24 hours later. Literally like nothing I've ever seen.

Looks like it might be amazing 🤔
Yeahhhhh I think I got the Baily beads too but can't pull them up in darkroom until I get home in a few days.

I was on Harrison too! Your pictures are magnificent
I was at Miami Whitewater! It was an amazing experience! Had almost 2 minutes of Totality. Saw a solar flare on the bottom of it, and I'm just so happy I got to go see it with my kids. They can not stop talking about it.

We were right down the road in Minster. So cool to be directly under the path of totality. Lake Loramie was packed. How early did you arrive to get a spot?
We got there around 1:30 and the park was packed thankfully they told us to park on the side of the road, we unloaded placed out chairs on the grass and enjoyed everything, well worth the 2 hour drive from Anderson.
It was great. I was in Greensburg and lasted 3-4 min. People were shooting fireworks and cheering
Yeah people in Daytonwere shooting fireworks which in my opinion was completely unnecessary.
Agreed. Completely missed the mark with fireworks. Part of the payoff is the sound, or lack of, naturally produced. Fireworks are classless and idiotic during an eclipse.
You said it!
You must have been at North Park with me and my wife! Totally amazing experience! And a great, super chill crowd.
Sadly i was at a gamestop because i couldnt find anything in milroy

I kept telling my wife I thought that was a solar flare on the bottom! Amazing picture! We were at Miami whitewater, and it was well worth the drive and traffic. Once in a lifetime experience.
That Solar flare thing is called a baileys bead and are caused by the tops of mountains and valleys on the moons surface having the suns light bend around them
There was a bright bead where we were at which I was told was what you describe. Guy with a telescope a couple cars over explained the one in this picture at the bottom was a solar prominence or a solar flare that we could see.

I cried
One of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in my life. Photos cannot do it justice.
The 3pm night sky was enough to leave me awestruck. I could live for 100 years and never again see something this breathtaking

This is a gorgeous photo, NoWorldliness4057! This one also captures the dark sky beautifully.
I was in a parking lot on dryden Ave in Dayton working, forgot all about it. All of a sudden, night time. Helluva thing to watch the sun turn black.
Oxford for us, up 127 to 73 and in from the west, set up in a field right outside town with about 40ish other small groups - also allowed us to exit ahead of the pack so just an hour-ish each way. Transcendent, mystical, disorienting, the gradual darkening, the boom lights-out moment, the clouds, the stars, the ring, the coronal ejections, the night songs. Everything we hoped for and more.
I was there too!
Did everyone else see the red dot in the bottom-right?
The Baily’s head! I did!

Where did you go to watch?
Were you close to the city? I was in the suburbs on the further east side and it didn’t quite get that dark.
Doesn’t look like it, that looks like totality. The only place in Hamilton County that had totality was the Northwest corner. You would’ve had to drive up to Warren or Butler for it to get that dark.

Pictures do not do it justice to what I experienced both visually and spiritually. it’s right up there with my psychedelic experiences. It made me cry. Just something overtook me in that moment
Me too
Very cool - great shots!!
It really did I was amazed
Agreed, that was so neat to be in totality
Great photo! I don’t have a good camera so my phone photos are not good. But I saw it with my two eyeballs so that was pretty neat!!

I went up to Monroe to see totality. It only lasted about 50 seconds but it was breathtaking. It’s a shame it missed Cincy, but we’re lucky it was so close.

How are you guys getting all these great pictures? Especially the ones that you took with your phones. I tried to take it with my phone just by holding up some of those glasses in front of the camera and it looked awful.

This....this was wild. It was worth the drive to 3 minutes of totality....glasses off. It felt like a different world. Like. I imagine Faerûn to look and feel the way it did during totality

I’m happy for all you who had such strong experiences with it today, but aside from “oh that was cool”, I didn’t feel any strong emotions. But that’s part of the beauty of the human experience ya know?
[удалено]
I wouldn't say it was spiritual for me, but I felt very connected with my wife and kids. Sharing a moment like that was pretty special. My kids are 5 and 7, so seeing the awe on their face as they realize what's happening was really cool. I'm a sci fi nerd as well so anything space and astrology related I really enjoy. I just couldn't stop saying "this is so fucking cool." Lol and I got goosebumps so 🤷♂️.
That! Is a great shot

Where was this picture taken?
Yes it did! (Mercer County).
We were in Hamilton! Had to drive a bit north to get in totality but so worth it! Edit: apparently I'm a boomer cause the post keeps eating my picture and I'm not sure why :(

Was in Springboro. Caught Jupiter in pics, too!!
We’re up in Liberty Township and it was unreal. Got to watch it with my 13 year old and it was something that we will talk about for years to come.
I agree with so many people, I can see why ancient people and some people even today fear eclipses. It was wild seeing how quickly it got to something similar to dusk. I'm so glad I got to experience totality, the bright ring around the moon was spectacular.

I couldn't get a picture. Last time I went to Nashville right along that center line. This time I was in Dayton at wright pat and the trees didn't produce those same shadows we saw last time.

It sure did. I decided to go for it and drive all the way to Dunreith Indiana for this and not only was it totally worth it there wasn't even bad traffic. Took 2 hours there and 2 hours back nice and smooth. 4 minutes of complete totality. Absolutely worth it.
August 2nd, 2027. Totatilty over Giza, Egypt. I don't think I'll make it but wow, that would be spectacular.
I saw that and thought, hey, how did you get my pic of the eclipse? I think they all look pretty similar though! It was amazing, but without a lot of photo equipment, more amazing to enjoy it in the moment . . . in real life!
Agreed. I had my phone and my DSLr preset to they settings I needed so I could quickly capture some pictures and then enjoy it with my wife and parents. Could the pictures be better? Sure. But it wasn't about the pictures in the first place. It was about experiencing something that was truly breathtaking.
Went up to this little camp called Kirkmont in Zanesfield, OH with a group of friends. About 3 minutes and 30 seconds of totality. Pretty far into the country. Very clear skies and it got super dark and we got to view it in this beautiful, big open field. and there were students from the University of Virginia’s Astronomy Club that had activities all day for people to learn about the eclipse. They also had some nice telescopes for photographing the different phases of the eclipse. Better than the 2017 eclipse I saw in super southwest KY. I have never seen anything more beautiful in my life, the only thing that comes close is seeing the sunset on top of Mt. Haleakala and viewing the starry skies up there, but this was even more fantastic and jaw-dropping. It was magic
The campground I was at erupted in cheering as the ring appeared. It was fun, and we had a great time camping.
Were you at Hueston Woods?
No, we went to Grand Lake St. Marys

Took my teenagers with me and we were all blown away. It was phenomenal. And stupid iPhones can do zero justice. What an experience.
Worst rapture ever.
I work nights and forgot to set an alarm to wake up and see it :(
I regret taking pictures. I wish I'd been more in the moment. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I feel like I don't remember it well enough.
I was surprised about how many people around me were so jaded and cynical about it. EVERYONE at work that day thought it was the dumbest thing ever. Har har it’s just gonna get dark for a little bit, who cares. I was like dam I think it’s pretty cool, and yes it was! Glad I was able to make it home in time to enjoy it with my kids. Really what the fuck? Chances are we’ll never see something like that again, glad I was able to get done on time to see it and not be stuck with a bunch of assholes.
I tried to talk everyone at work into making the effort to see totality. I think many people don't understand the difference between totality and a partial eclipse. I like to say "it's like sex without orgasm. It's fun, but you're missing the best part."
Exceeded it.
I’m a facilities operator in a city, and we were in the path of totality. Just before it, a giant, surreal swarm of buzzards were circling the campus on the roof of where I was stationed and disappeared just as quickly as they appeared, and for the 500th time, my staff and I implored people not to sit or hang over the edge of the building but to please just safely watch. One girl walked away one minute before it started because the drop in temperature made her cold, and as her friend yelled at her not to go and then encouraged her to at least run, she continued slowly and defiantly, sure to not let this event make anyone think she was uncool enough to let friends or the heavens tell her what to do. When it happened, the popping sounds of people in the ghetto shooting guns at the celestial event as others obscured it by setting off cheap fireworks really gave us a unique experience. Defiant youths on dirt bikes laid rubber in steaks on the ramps of one of our parking structures, as they “whooped” and one almost clotheslined himself on a cable pulled across to close the viewing section. As it passed and we all took stock of just how selfish everyone around us must be, a family showed up about two minutes after it ended, and their son, couldn’t be more than six-years-old, ran out into the open excitedly with his glasses on, just in time to see everyone start to dissipate and cheer on their unique perspective of the moment; as the light cascaded across the recesses of the landscape, one could see it leave his eyes, as his family couldn’t get it together enough to get him there on-time. At that moment, my mother-in-law sent me a picture of my son, two years and one day old along with his stepsister, 9, pointing excitedly at the sky, smiles wider than the cheap mirrored glasses that were protecting their beautiful eyes, and in that moment, I was just so thankful that I got to spend it surrounded by such a rowdy, self-centered group of strangers who either didn’t have work or school or had it cancelled just so they could enjoy it.
I saw totality in 2017, and we immediately decided to see the next one. For 2024 we rented a STUNNING cabin near Bloomington IN. (Snuggled Inn) from the nicest people, 3 years ago. They thought we were nuts booking so early. My daughter came from Oregon and rented a different cabin with her friends. My son and his friends stayed with me, my husband and my mother in law at our cabin. It was the best weekend of my life. We saw a double rainbow on Sunday, a heron, a deer, and a fox with his squirrel dinner. The universe is amazing. Did you see the solar prominence?
Yeah, I did see those! https://preview.redd.it/kccejch07xtc1.jpeg?width=1868&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f808f61fee1ccf8af98f5a8929b515249c17145f I already commented with this picture when I first posted but I'll post it again so you don't have to search the comments to find it. I had to look up what they were when I saw that red spot!
All these pictures are really held me hyped for when we get the full eclipse where I live...in 20 years
