Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.

you can make a little pinhole eclipse viewer pretty easily, I remember doing this as a kid and it was fun. We have eclipse glasses my partner got; I am wondering if full on welding goggles would be good enough, too? I used to stare into the heart of a ceramic furnace with those things on, always felt like I was looking into the refrigerator from Ghostbusters

At an event at a farm in northern New Hampshire. They have burgers and hot dogs and classic rock on blast. It's nice and warm out but there's still snow in the ground from a few days ago.

You won’t even notice anythings happening unless you look at the sun with the special glasses and then you’ll see something like this.

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.



Currently sitting in a field, amongst the weeds, looking up high, and seeing the eclipse every few min through cloud breaks.

Bad news: within 15 minutes chemtrail jets did this

20 minutes to start here and at the moment skies are mostly clear. The few clouds are very wispy, hopefully stay that way.

Only welding glasses with the darkest shade level of 14 can protect your eyes properly, but these are uncommon and may not be available in many hardware stores.

I can see the moon starting to cover the moon just fine when I look through the special glasses, but apparently all of the camera stuff I have is garbo, because there's nothing but sun in every pic I take… :sun::argh:

The NASA stream has some :420: ambient music playing at the moment. They just showed the full eclipse over Mexico and it was pretty cool. There's some sunspots going crazy on the right hand side of the sun.

Well the sunlight seems a little dimmer I guess, but the sun itself's still too bright to look at. They should warn you about that.

I looked at the partial LA one because my neighbor was outside and she had those special glasses.

Have scientists even figured out what causes Anubis to attack Ra in such a manner? Or is it just "more research needed" type thing.

Totality was pretty sweet. Seeing a full eclipse like that is honestly pretty indescribable. 10/10 would do again.
