news Solar Eclipse Over The U.S. Occurring This Monday.

It wasn't quite as great a I hoped for. First of all my school wouldn't let anyone outside during it, so at its peak all we could do was look out a small window. Where I live was 90% full, but it honestly just looked like it was going to rain. I rushed home immediately afterward and used my mother's eclipse glasses to see it. There wasn't much to see, but it's not often you get to see even a sliver of the sun covered.

A few shots that I took of the partial eclipse we had...

It was literally only cloudy here during the eclipse. Bright sunshine the rest of the day. Guess I'll have to wait to try again in 2024.

For me it wasn't all that exciting, unfortunately. I lacked any viewing peripherals and even if I had any I probably would be too paranoid to use them. Even then, it was still only a very partial eclipse for me. It went a bit dim for a few minutes at most and that was pretty much it. I am sure NASA got some incredible shots, but for me, it wasn't much of an event.

Unfortunately for me, given where I live I barely even noticed anything, the sky was only slightly dimmer than usual, so it wasn't very exciting.

I missed this. Aww man! I wasn't even in the right country

Oh man I remember this.  I even went to a city that was under the line of totality. 
 

It looked kinda like the sun was setting 360 degrees around you.  

This photo was taken by me around 1:30 in the middle of the afternoon in Springfield, TN 30 min north of Nashville where the totality lasted around 2 mins 40 secs. 
 

 

When the totality started the birds stopped chirping, Nocturnal insects started making noise, and then when it ended the birds started chirping again.   
 

It was a really cool experience all around!  Can’t wait to see it again in 2024.
