Total Solar Eclipse (US) of 2017

there was some cool light effects on the asphalt i viewed the eclipse on. right before and right after it went totally dark, the light sort of swam around or rippled on the ground a little bit
 
Showed up to a viewing and they were out of glasses. Thankfully a nice lady shared a pair with my group. People are so nice. :)

It's weird, it got colder and darker, but the sky is still blue. Kinda creepy but I'm loving it. Definitely gonna have to see a total eclipse some day.
 
I think the shadows are conspiring.

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.

thats fair, that aligns with other things that I am reading online. the biggest concern is that people are going to star when they normally wouldnt stare and there are no pain receptors telling people to stop
 
I hope there are some intrepid cosplayers out there who took advantage of this


Also, someone needs to check the deepest depths of the White House to make sure HR McMaster isn't strapped naked across a sacrificial altar.
 
A staggering amount of people at my office don't understand what is happening. Like basic science stuff. I'm blowing minds with a fucking piece of paper and a pinhole.
 
Currently raining NW of Charleston. Missed first contact. There's a big patch of blue to the west, so I'm still hopeful totality won't be a bust.
 
I don't feel too bad about missing this one since the next one in 2024 will be able to be seen in totality right outside of Austin TX. That's an easy drive for me ... may even make a mini vacation out of it.
