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 didn’t know it was happening you probably wouldn’t even notice anything different. You’re totally fine without glasses unless you wanna look at the sun directly, no matter where you are.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Why do you know that tho

You're telling me you don't have a tab up at all times?

 

[Rflagg]

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

Yeah I switched to nasa one and the nyt one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-DB5vlYQtg

I need two because nasa one has too much bs and not enough showing the eclipse imo.

 

[LQX]

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.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Does the front facing camera trick work?

The opening up Twitch and watching the Nasa stream trick works even better, because the other people filming it have better cameras than you do.

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Went outside just now to do errands and the skies looked different.

I assume it already started in Cali? (or maybe im just looking at smog haha)

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

I put my glasses up against my phone camera hahaha

The eclipse now owns your eyes

 

[Z3M0G]

So is there any satellite broadcasting live video of the moon's shadow moving along the earth? I couldn't find anything about that... but it must be pretty awesome to see...

Yeah I am in socal and light is definitely getting weird. Shadows are not what they should be for this time of day.

 

[Professor Lich]

Anyone have any good TV channel suggestions? Just watching the weather channel right now.

Funny, I'm not in an area of totality, but if I was in the totality portion, honestly... I would get pretty fucking emotional if I saw a total eclipse. In 2024, I may go to Erie, PA so I can see the totality then. Just thinking of seeing a total eclipse makes me emotional.

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

Damn, glasses sold out at my nearest Best Buy and Lowes.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Things are slightly eerie outside but its so overcast I cant see the sky. :[

.

can't wait for thread titles like "GAF i'm looking at the sun and my eyes hurt what should i do"

If you're serious...
Your eyes are already dead.

 

[FireBeaver]

Fuck, apparently it's gonna rain here right when the totality starts. Dang

 

[Nostremitus]

It's looking quite nice here in MO.

 

[Fonz72]

It's super quite. Very relaxing.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Its the clearest blue skies and it begining to look a awesome out right now

 

[Irishonion]

Wish it would be like this during summer, I work outside and it's gotten nice and cooler temps. Gloomy though lol

 

[half a moon]

Does it not turn dark outside? I swear am eclipse happened 20 years ago at school and it turned dark.

 

[manfestival]

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.

How long did you look at the sun though? I mean usually looking at the sun or having it in your peripheral totally sucks. also I planned on just glancing up for a second to look at it. Just read an article about the real damage coming from those staring at it.

 

[Weevilone]

Read so much about this that my eyes felt funny before I even went outside.

 

[mrklaw]

Is it possible to get a shot of the entire moon shadow moving across the US - maybe from the ISS or a plane?

 

[DarkChronic]

Ugh some clouds rolling into NYC...nooooo

 

[friskykillface]

I can't see shit
Rigged

 

[facetheslayer92]

Damn it's cloudy.

 

[FireBeaver]

Yeah according to the weather report the part of MO I live in is gonna be cloudy all day.

Ugh.

 

[XenodudeX]

Completely cloudy here in Jacksonville, Fl. Bullshit :/

 

[daveo42]

Hopefully these steams will remove their filters once totality starts.

 

[Bornstellar]

Entered thin banana stage, temperature has dropped significantly.

 

[krackerjack]

It ls time.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Whoa you're right. I usually have loads of birds squawking in my trees but it's very silent right now. Not even much traffic. Got the damn kids at the local school ruining it though.

 

[Hunter S.]

Damn it is super sunny.

 

[SliceSabre]

Oh look the Holy Grail!

MAKE A WISH

Nah, you face your back towards the sun and use the front fax camera to look.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Does anyone plan to smoke the marijuana?

 

[jlscool]

I work from home and I can see the eclipse right from my front porch. This is going to be awesome. Here in St. Louis, MO

 

[Hidden One]

What if some crazy shit happened once it totally eclipsed.

 

[Z3M0G]

Is it possible to get a shot of the entire moon shadow moving across the US - maybe from the ISS or a plane?

I'm looking for this also

 

[Rflagg]

View form the g3 is awesome ground view is also awesome just different

 

[Angry Grimace]

I am brilliant and decided to look at the sun and fuck that shit burned

 

[Toparaman]

So is everyone at max coverage now?

Looks like it here (70 percent coverage max in NorCal), but honestly it just looks like a normal morning in terms of light.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

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

 

[ZOONAMI]

In MN, looks like only 30%c overage or so. Can only look for like a sec too or I'm burning my retinas

 

[gcubed]

It does, depending where you are can look like morning or even twilight in totality

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

The Twitch view is pretty sweet: https://www.twitch.tv/nasa
