Looks like the end of days

 

[Chris R]

So fucking awesome.

Totally worth the trip

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Thanks for blinding me jackass

 

[E92 M3]

Holy shit, they're weren't kidding when they said don't look directly at the sun. I did a quick peek and fuck. I have a perfect view of it also.

 

[matrixman92]

As someone looking through their phone camera with no glasses...

...looks like the normal sun

It's past peak time according the verge for me. Welp back inside I go

 

[friskykillface]

We gonna die

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

 

[mavo]

Man just looked at the sun in the reflection of a car windshield and almost went blind.

I mean is only partial here in Mexico so meh, will stay in doors.

I also feel bad for the people living near the total path who werent able to travel, must be the ultimate cocktease.

 

[JettDash]

Max coverage where I am is in like 18 minutes.

I can't see shit yet.

I guess I should have got the glasses.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Told my dad to make sure the cat was inside haha.

 

[Professor Lich]

Dude, the Weather Channel is playing some awesome music or sounds righto now during totality. Sounds demonic and awesome.

 

[AdanVC]

BOOM!! I cannot imagine how fucking amazing must be to see this in person.

Peak time is in a hour i thought

 

[CMojicaAce]

What if some crazy shit happened once it totally eclipsed.

It is time

 

[Not]

Poked a hole in cardboard. Didn't work as far as protection. Still saw it. Cool stuff.

Need to lie down.

 

[Poppy]

it was neat

 

[manfestival]

Retina damage is cumulative so glancing away and back won't "reset" it

My concern that it is just far more damaging apparently during the eclipse than any normal day of staring at the sun? Does this have to do with dilation? Like will it affect me if I am coming from the inside of a bright office building?

 

[Z3M0G]

It is time

wtf is this?

 

[wiibomb]

why the hell nasa doesn't show how it looks on the ground? I'm curious af about how it everyone looks at the eclipse (and also looking the "night" from totallity)

wtf is this?

only the best game ever.. bloodborne.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Never realized how creepy everything looks during an eclipse. Cool shit.

The worst thing is actually when you live right in the path of totality but the weather sucks too much to see anything

 

[Goodacre0081]

look so odd outside here in Vancouver. almost like I'm wearing sun glasses but im not.

edit: used some welding goggles to see the eclipse. make sure its at least shade 14 style.

 

[E92 M3]

wtf is this?

Rebirth

Looking at an eclipse isn't any more dangerous than looking at the sun at any other point. People are just smart enough to not stare at the goddamn sun.

 

[kikiribu]

And just like that, it has become super cloudy in NYC. LOL never fails

wtf is this?

You don't wanna know but I will give you a hint: Bloodborne

 

[Stormhammer]

I have a welding helmet with a shade lvl of 13. Is that enough to watch the eclipse

 

[GK86]

Made a quick pinhole projector to save my eyes.

 

[matrixman92]

Peak time is in a hour i thought

It varies by location. The verge said it was 10:17 am for me peak time. Like 80% was peak here for me in California

 

[IceMarker]

Never realized how creepy everything looks during an eclipse. Cool shit.

One of the few times in our lives we can experience midday twilight.

 

[h0tp0ck3t]

It is time

Fear the old blood

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

wtf is this?

Oh my God, Z3M0G is blind!

 

[Chris R]

Temps dropped quite a bit, automatic lights came on it was so dark.

Camera was fucking shit at capturing it, but man it was so fucking cool to see live in person.

Trip redeemed

 

[ICO_SotC]

The clarity of the NYT's feed once they got it in focus was amazing. You could see what looked like flame bursts around the top of the ring.

 

[MAtgS]

God damn fucking rain clouds filling the sky.

 

[Niks]

holy shit it gets dark as fuck

 

[Einchy]

I was bummed I wasn't able to get glasses but it turned out well 'cus it's cloudy as fuck right now. I've no idea where the sun even is.

 

[Z3M0G]

only the best game ever.. bloodborne.

Are you fucking serious? That's what I thought... but hot damn I need to play that...

 

[Garlador]

I know where this is heading...

 

[TyrantII]

No. It's just from looking at the sun period.

The issue with an eclipse is it's an abnormal event that gets more people looking at the sun.

 

[Hidden One]

wait till earth loses it's magnetic field brehs. we are all fucked.

 

[The Last Wizard]

wtf is this?

Just pray you ain’t got a behelit.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Yep feel the temp dropping in MN

 

[friskykillface]

wait till earth loses it's magnetic field brehs. we are all fucked.

Bill Nye will save us

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

In Iowa and it's raining, but I somehow turned on the NASA stream at exactly the right moment to see totality in Oregon.

 

[jstripes]

Great, now some creepy girl is going to come crawling out of my monitor.

 

[ryan299]

planet x reveal itself yet?

 

[Frostinferno]

Absolutely nothing happened here in the Bay Area. Stupid clouds. I demand a refund!

 

[facetheslayer92]

It looks so nice in Oregon
