Total Solar Eclipse

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

I am in North Eastern Oregon so I got a partial eclipse. It was pretty trippy. The temperature dropped and it started getting darker, like it was dusk. The lines were pretty cool. I work outside in a big parking lot so I saw them pretty clear against ground. Almost looked wave like. Like if you shined light through water bottle, but everywhere.

Fucking awesome.
Can you imagine what people thought about eclipses before there was a natural explanation?

Eye doctors in a couple weeks be like

And every one of them should ask, "Didn't you read the reports telling you not to stare at it??"

@Scyther

Any comment on the eclipse? Does it fit in to your model?

Yes, it does and is easily explained. One celestial object has to pass in front of the other and that is all.

Get yourself one of these if you want to know how people explained natural phenomenon in ancient times.

I borrowed classes at work a few times but made one of those stupid boxes to view it through last night. Got some cool pics through it.

I've got a personalized copy.

Not fondled, also seriously

I'm going to fly out to the next totality. Based on my brother's crummy iphone video, I think the experience will be totally worth it

We had totality here in STL. But the aliens didn't come for me.

I'm over in St Charles. A few aliens but no probes. I never did get a great look at it unfortunately. Sun was still pretty rough on the eyes even when cars had their headlights on. I was hoping to see the sun's atmosphere clearly for a moment but no dice.

Next one is in south America according to a google search, and most of it will be in the pacific.

Here's a cool graphic for America.

I viewed it from work in Maplehood.

I could have sworn I heard there was one on 2024. Btw, my brother also lives in STL, Misery...... if I had known, I would have crashed at his place.

Yeah it was amazing. I tried to get a pic with my phone but it just looked like the sun, but scaled down

Looks like you are talking about the one that starts in TX and cuts north east going through IL, IN, OH and so on.

Looks like STL will be just on the border of the 2024 one. Might have to travel east a few miles into IL though for best viewing. Stop at the strip clubs over there too while your at it.

This is fkn weird and awesome, it just got super dark where I am in N.Y.

Fkn amazing

 

[315MMAFighter]

Light & dark at the same time

Just think about it, there are people who have been born, went to school, raised a family, retired, and died and never lived long enough to see one in their own backyard.
