the eclipse is Gods dire warning to us that we must stop worshipping the computer devil machine and return to virtuous pursuits like woodworking and building sheds and so forth

nasa has a website where you can pop in your zip and see how much of it will be visible and when: https://eclipse-explorer.smce.nasa.gov/ it says 48.4% maximum visibility here, but it's also pretty overcast today so

I went up to the astronomy lab and they have a telescope set up and you can see the little plasma loops coming off the edge of the disc 🌞

It's clear here and the eclipse has started. I saw it through some hopefully legit glasses and it was okay. It's not total here though so not quite as exciting.
