Got to a bar in Farragut/TC TN. I40 west was a disaster past exit 378. Pretty quiet here.

 

[RoadHazard]

Guys, I'm looking at a stream of this right now. Like, right at the sun. Am I already blind?

 

[MouldyK]

So, flat earth people, you want to explain how this works during an eclipse then?

It's this on a Larger Scale, clearly: Here

 

[Systemwarrior]

I’m glad it cleared up here in Kansas City.

 

[hodayathink]

Completely overcast here. Not in the path of totality, but my niece has never seen an eclipse period, so I thought it'd be fun to show her one. Guess it's just not in the cards.

 

[Skyline Owl]

Kansas City actually cleared up in time!



It's clear in my part of the city. Hopefully it clears up for you.

Here as well. I'm in Independence.

Link?

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

When is this at highest eclipse in Northeast Ohio?

 

[Bornstellar]

At a bit more than 50% in Idaho.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Anyone mind taking some videos during totality? It's cloudy where I'm at. :/

April 8th, 2024

 

[Van Bur3n]

Cloudy and raining. Shit better clear up. Lucky enough to live in an area of totality and I'd like to take advantage.

 

[half a moon]

Looked at the sun wothout glasses bad idea

 

[Rflagg]

What stream are you all watching

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxgDcIwZBgU&feature=youtu.be and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwMDvPCGeE0 mostly for audio and different parts of us.

 

[Dead Prince]

it's just a bright ass sun here.

same.

 

[Thebullfrog]

I dunno about my fellow GAFers, but I'm having a great time staring at the unbroken expanse of solid cloud cover.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Clouds just popped up here in middle TN :/

 

[Agentnibs]

Started in Nashville and a wild cloud appeared!

 

[Chris R]

Getting dark now

 

[SliceSabre]

Seeing NASA do this make me cringe so hard but it is endearing too.

 

[Hidden One]

it's just a bright ass sun here.


same.

You're already blind.

The first one is 360p. It looks like bad CGI from 15 years ago.

 

[The Technomancer]

...am I missing an obvious reason why, if people are resorting to pinhole cameras, I shouldn't just use my phone camera on "reverse facing" to look over my shoulder?

 

[Irishonion]

Feels like end of the day sun lol

 

[tonysidaway]

I'm going to assume any peeps who mysteriously disappear from Neogaf in the next few hours have all gone blind.

...or been eaten by zombies, or grounded by their parents. Or raptured.

Or all of the above.

At a certain point, aren't you just better off watching a stream?

 

[The Technomancer]

Sure but pinhole camera is just as indirect

 

[Dead Prince]

You're already blind.

 

[AdanVC]

Hope y'all have your cool eclipse glasses ready!

 

[Murugo]

At a viewing party at work. Even though it's overcast you can still see the eclipse through the clouds. Easier to take pictures of with a phone camera.

 

[Vanillalite]

Jim Cantore getting juiced for the Eclipse

 

[motherxwolf]

they got a stream on chaturbate lmao, watching on twitch tho

Didn't even think about that.

I was planning on holding my phone over the sun. Thus blocking its light from going in my eyes.

live coverage of the eclipse

chat is mostly swastikas. great.

 

[Kalnoky]

Some spotty overcast here in Northern California, and some of it just so happens to be covering the sun, haha. Wasn't gonna get to see full totality anyway or anything, but still kind of lame. Oh well.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Why do you know that tho

 

[perfectchaos007]

Jim Cantori getting juiced for the Eclipse

Ah the weatherchannel guy. Nick Saban is watching intently

 

[Ponn]

Can't see shit anyways. Just glad we will now have HD photos and video of the event to enjoy.

 

[killer rin]

I'm so mad that I wasn't able to get a pair of viewing glasses. Especially since it wouldn't have been a problem to time my breaks today to go catch a glimpse.

 

[HideyoshiJP]

chat is mostly swastikas. great.

I reported it even though I know it's futile.

 

[motherxwolf]

Why do you know that tho

u already kno fam

 

[Lord of Castamere]

I think I'm at like <95% so pretty good, and I only have to step outside. Teacher even gave out free glasses today.

If you can get a good pic of the sun with your phone camera, then you must have a much better phone than me.

Shit is just gonna look totally blown out, dude. You can really only see the obstruction of the sun’s disc by the moon through the special filters.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Howled in laughter

 

[Psychoward]

If I don't plan to look at the sun directly in NJ I don't need any special glasses right, I'm gonna be driving soon and I wanna make sure I'll be OK lol

If you don't look at the sun, you'll be all right. Like usual.

The sun isn't capable of damaging your eyes any more than it is every other day. You'll be fine as long as you don't look at it.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Does the front facing camera trick work?

 

[motherxwolf]

you'll be fine dawg
