looks like most of the east coast is going to be cloudy that day, only texas is going to get to see it

>>16113901
If there isn't the activity for an astronomy general there won't be for an eclipse. And really what is there to talk about? An eclipse discussion will likely devolve into /x/ tier schitzoposting

>>16113150
Nothing EVER happens.

>>16113901
There's not much to say about it. I lived in north Georgia a few years ago when we had a total solar eclipse. It was kind of interesting. I'd been through one once before as a child but my elementary school wouldn't let us go outside during it so it looked like a rainy day with no rain.
Now I'm in Ohio and bought some glasses but, meh, am not all that excited for it. I'll go out and look if it's clear enough but I doubt it's going to be any different than the last two times.
I did think it was funny when there was an eclipse that passed over the University of Alabama's football stadium during a game so the state government issued warnings to fans to not look at the sun without glasses on.

>>16113150
I'm in Maine and I'm excited to go see it. The last one here was July 20th, 1963, well before I was born and the next one will be 2079, I don't care enough to get on a plane and travel to see one, but I'll drive 3 hours to go see it. The sad thing is all of my friends are working that day. Would have seen it with my dad, but he died a couple of years ago. He would have loved this. So that makes me sad. Also how people are getting married to this also makes me sad because I haven't a date. Guess my road trip song is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Soa3gO7tL-c

I really hope it arrives in time.

What's the best site to find out the exact timing of the Solar Eclipse How's this? https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2024-april-8

>>16113598
Yeah, my area looks like at best it'll be partly cloudy and at worst just totally overcast.
Really disappointed in that.

>>16114867
If you live in an urban area, look at your county's health or science department website.
Mine, for Erie County, New York, gives exact times for the urban center.

>my elementary school wouldn't let us go outside during it
What a gay school fuck those guys.

>>16114882
Figured it out thanks. I'm going to be recording this on my phone as well.

>>16114886
It reminds me of that one Bradbury story about the planet that rains 24/7 except for a few hours once a decade, and the narrator ends up being locked in the closet by her school bullies during it.

>>16113598
Texas chads, why do we always win over the sniveling sissified east coast wimps?

I swear to god I'm always out of America when totality happens. How many more chances do I get in my lifetime if I keep eurofagging?

>>16113150
It's over. Cloudy everywhere except in the middle of nowhere.

>>16115175
>H-H-HAARP w-will save us!

>>16113598
Thing again Chud.

Was thinking of driving 6 hours to Erie on Monday, but right now, Windy is showing 99% cloud cover at 2 PM and then 32% cloud cover at 3 PM and 4 PM. What do you guys think? Would you still go if you were me?

>>16115175
All you need is a hole in the clouds big enough for the sun to fit in. People are freaking out for nothing.

>>16115720
Not happening. 1000 miles of dense overcast coming.

>>16115725
>tfw all the clouds on the whole planet concentrate themselves perfectly along the path of totality and nowhere else

>>16114867
If you search engine "name of your state" eclipse time and/or include path and/or totality and cannot find a website with the exact path and time within 2 minutes, but I'll allow you 5, you are beyond help short of spoonfeeding

Also, I was surprised to find that 7/11 carries them.

Gonna drive 5 hours to see this bitch, better not be cloudcucked

I wish I had some ms paint skills to make wojak eclipse being blocked by smugfrog cloud

Driving to Ohio on Monday. Really hoping for clear skies.

>>16116490
set sail for fail

How do the flat earth faggots explain big balls blocking the light of other big balls? And I don't mean their mother's frequenting of soup kitchen stallions.

It has never been more fucking over....

>>16114886
It was very disappointing but it was an impoverished semi-rural area so the school couldn't afford a buy a bunch of smoked glass for students and they probably were concerned kids would just look up at the Sun anyway if they didn't have smoked glass (the cheap glasses you can get now weren't available back then).
It's funny that we could see the residents of the housing project next to the school looking up without any sort of protection. I wonder how many of them ended up with some sort of vision issue.

I don't think I've ever hated clouds more then I do right now
just cancelled plans to go to Erie because I'm not driving 6 hours to stare at clouds and I'm not going to Vermont so I can be stuck in 2 days worth of traffic on the way home

at least I'm in the 80% zone, which is also cloudy, fuck this gay earth

We're not getting 100% where I live but 98.8% is pretty good. I thought about driving down to Toledo but who really wants to be in Toledo? 98.8% is good enough for walking out my back door.

>>16116992
I saw the 2017 one and there's a huge difference between totality and 99.99%. If you can make it and the weather is good, it'd probably be worth it

>>16113150
I’m probably stupid. I bought some SEIC solar eclipse glasses for my family online a few weeks ago, and now Im afraid they might be fakes. I wanted to check the website listed inside the frames, but it doesnt seem to be up anymore. I checked the AAS website and I verified that the seller listed was Qiwei Craft, but after testing them with a flashlight, they seem to let in a lot of light. At least compared to videos I’ve seen testing legit pairs vs fake ones.

TLDR; How can I confirm the quality of these glasses without burning holes through both of my corneas tomorrow?

Here’s the actual listing for anyone curious.

https://www.amazon.com/SEIC-Frame-Eclipse-Glasses-Certified/dp/B0C2Y3GD4H

>>16117305
FWIW, the glasses I bought for this eclipse are much darker than the ones I used during the last eclipse with no ill effects.
Do you live near a Kroger? That's where I bought the pair I have for this eclipse. They're $2.

>>16117313
I do live near a couple big box stores. I was about to go check. I was really hoping to that these are real since the clip ons would help my sister since her vision isn't that good.

Traveled to Texas to see it, looks like it was a waste of gas.

anyone streaming it?

>>16117447

Why do people freak out about looking at the eclipse? Nobody freaks out this much about looking directly at the sun. Sure - you don't do it constantly but looking at the sun every once in a while isn't that harmful.

>knew this was coming for years
>didn't bother getting glasses
lol

>>16117468
The darkness dilates your eyes, allowing in more harmful UV than normal while you can look at the Sun for much longer without immediate discomfort. Or at least that's what I've been told over the years.

Had one of my parents freak out about the eclipse on me, said it was likely to last 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months, "we just don't know". This sounds like absolute bullshit coming from an AI generated video on facebook or something, but maybe, just maybe I'm missing something this time. Is there anything special going on this time, or can I just tell them to stop being so guillible with their online content? Just looking at the thread, it looks like a standard eclipse, but I'd rather ask anyway

>>16117511
No, just standard bullshit.
Hell, chances are most people in the path of the eclipse won't even be able to see it because of cloud cover and shitty weather across the US.

>>16117514
some people legit think they're going to heaven during the eclipse.

>>16117517
Honestly baffling, given that we just had one go over the US a few years ago.

>>16117514
Unsurprising, but thanks for answering. It was kinda cute running errands to prepare for near-eternal darkness, but I guess I'll talk to them about people lying on the internet for money when it's all over

Texas getting BTFO by clouds lmao

>>16117468
Only children normally have to be told not to look at the sun, so it's not something that comes up among adults at all. Just like adults don't have to tell each other not to eat grass. During eclipses, all common sense goes out the window as retards suddenly think it's okay to look at the sun just because it's partially covered and they damage their eyes. You CAN look directly at it during actual totality and I think that's what confuses the retards into thinking any amount of sun blockage makes it okay to stare at.

>>16117556
do we have an updated forcast map? I might drive to Maine instead

>>16113150
Trump looked at it without glasses like a chad

BASED THANK YOU

anyone else in Plattsburgh? we drove 8 hours and paid over $800 for the hotel room tonight. we'll see if it's worth it. this hotel is fucking disgusting.
had to cancel our flight to Austin because it will be even worse weather. godspeed, retards

can you glance at a solar eclipse or is it like a fucking laser?

no where on the internet does it say you can glance at the solar eclipse once or twice during its appearance and be fine. its all, its not even worth it...its seriously that dangerous. am i just out of the loop or is this a way, way over hype?
i know your eyes react differently and that can lead to serious damage, but is the difference really that drastic? i mean a quick fucking glance, like at tits, quick, not noticable. thats fast. or is it really as serious as not even glancing at a laser, welding shit, those worlds most powerful flashlights, etc..
i get people dont want to be sued by some really dumb motherfucker who really fucking gave the sun a good look and got his eyes cooked but people have been seeing these literally forever. and subsequently freaking out over them.
im just looking for the truth

>>16117822
If you look at it during the totality period, which lasts about 3 minutes and has the most sun blocked, you'll be fine.

>>16117836
what about in the hour or 30min leading up to that? its the death star and i literally have to avert my eyes?
im not knocking it, but im surprised its this serious

>>16117822
During totality, the sun is safe to look at because the entire sun is in shadow, but if the sun is uncovered by ANY amount, looking at it will feel exactly like looking at the sun on a normal afternoon. That's the reason for all the warnings. People think, "Oh, the sun is 90% covered so I can look at it with no problem!" but in reality staring at a 90% covered sun at 3pm will hurt your eyes just as badly as staring at a 0% covered sun at 3pm.

t. looked directly at a partial eclipse in 2017 and regretted it instantly

>>16117849
>what about in the hour or 30min leading up to that?
Looking at it will feel exactly like looking at a bare afternoon sun.

>>16117859
but what about its affects? everything is just normal?

>>16117866
I don't know how to explain it any more clearly. It will affect your eyes exactly the same as looking at the bare afternoon sun on a normal day. Have you never even accidentally looked at the sun before? If not, there's no way I can explain to you how it feels other than to say it's very painful and you won't be able to even keep your eyes open.

>>16117870
16117866
in laymens term, its just an aesthetic change?
thats fucking retarded.

>>16117871
The part that's significant is totality. That's when things go dark, the temperature drops, animals freak out, and you can look at the sun's corona around the moon. Everything up to and after totality is like a normal day.

burgers remember, it's an eclipse not apocalipse

>>16113150
Any good livestreams for it?

>>16117895
Sun-chan will be doing a stream on OnlyFans. She's a dirty ball of hot plasma, she is.

>>16117878
so does that mean you only need eclipse glasses if you want to stare at the moon, hard fucking core?

>>16117871
>>16117866
>>16117849
>>16117822
you know how when you touch something hot your hand lets go of it automatically before you're even aware you burnt yourself?
your brain does the same thing when you look at the sun but during an eclipse the sun is dark enough to not trigger this involuntary response to look away so you cook your retinas without even realising it

Any /Ohio/ Chads ITT

>>16116902
can you please not post this fucking shit man

FUCK clouds

>>16117822
It is like looking into the sun.
The problem is that the UV light that burns your eyes out is still there, even at 99% Eclipse.
So you won't have the brightness that makes you look away, but will have the UV damage.

Think of it like one of those UV or IR lasers.

>>16117925
It means you need eclipse glasses to look at the sun during any time other than the 2 minute span of totality.

>>16117948
Yup, I'll be stepping outside to watch the eclipse. Feels good not having to travel for it.

>almost no posts in this thread
Shit board.

>>16118412
>I'll be stepping outside to look at clouds and get rained on, maybe a tornado will come along to murder me

>>16117821

t. work-traveler

Yeah it's gonna be cloudy for most of the totality path but onthe upside I think it'll be high altitude clouds so it should still be visible. And the effects of course are visible regardless outside the the sun's visibility itself.

But still, I'm on the very edge of clouds in the north so I'm coping for clear sky.

>>16118455
Why all this negativity? The forecast doesn't even call for rain today.

>>16117915
Slut...

im just going to look straight at it because the left fear the possibility of us getting superpowers

2 hours and 48 minutes until hawaii gets partial coverage

>>16115175
>Updated 3 days ago
pointless

>>16118634
Ironic how Texas has all the cloud cover and New England has the clearest skies.

>>16118469
There must be a huge reverse traffic in El Paso. A bunch of amateur astronomers crossing the river to Mexico. One of those times I regret not being born in Piedras Negras.

>>16118643
Well the totality in NE seems to be in the middle of nowhere up North. Traffic from Boston must be horrible.

>>16118407
you're doing exactly what im saying

>>16118662
I'm not even sure what you're saying now.

I will just use my selfie camera to look at the sun so I don't look directly into it

>>16118673
your phone will die

>>16117878
>Everything up to and after totality is like a normal day.
But could there be some kind of a glitch or how do we know it is going to be normal after it? What if some shit will never be the same like after the pandemic??

>>16118674
I honestly can't tell if you're shitposting and that makes me sad because it means I'm a retard

will the eclipse whiten my teeth?

Guy get you eclipse goggles at the library for free!

>>16118694
He's just being a negative little demon.

wait so Mexico people can see the eclipse right now or they see it the same time as everyone? or do i need to adjust the timezone?

>>16118710
Look up your city name plus "eclipse time" to find out.

>>16118714
yeah but Mexico can see it now I don't see shit in it's just a regular sky. I'm in Arkansa

>>16118710
I just looked outside and it's fucking cloudy as shit, I can't even tell where the sun is supposed to be at this time of the day

>>16118716
This website says the eclipse will be visible in Mexico in 1 hour from now: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/mexico?iso=20240408

>>16118716
Unless you're in the path of totality you won't see anything different.

>>16118727
okay nvm. I don't get why did they make it so complicated. They should just make it eclipse happen at once next time so everyone can see it at the same time.

>>16118730
the moon covering the sun isn't anything different?

Does anyone know if hardware stores sell the raw material for the filter the glasses use? GLasses are sold out everywhere (my fault, should have gotten them weeks ago). If i can just buy a sheet of the filter somewhere then I'll just do that

>>16118741
Probably not, but if you go somewhere other people are gathered you can probably borrow someone else's or they may even have spares to give you.

>>16118746
>you can probably borrow someone else's or they may even have spares to give you.
Yeah that's what I'm counting on at this point lol. I was probably just gonna stick to my parking lot but idk if my neighbors will be out tho. Already made the cereal box projector thing so at least there's that

>>16118710
my understanding is there is only one sun and only one moon so they overlap at the same time everywhere, the only difference is the time zone

>>16118741
if you are in NYC, just rob someone and head north. robbery is legal in NYC.

>>16118745

Apparently the next one that will go across the whole US is only 20 years away, actually. Not sure where all the 40+ year estimates came from.

for the one we had here in chile back in 2020 it was raining, still seeing everything going completely dark in the middle of the day was one of the coolest shit's i'll ever see, the thing i remember the most is all the birbs flying back to their nests confused and my guinea pigs going to sleep, enjoy it bros

>>16118787
The DON'T GLANCE AT THE SUN stuff is bullshit. The danger is that during an eclipse the Sun is INTERESTING, and people tend to stare at it, which is not good. It's sneaky as more of the Sun is covered, there is less glarea and it is more comfortable to stare at, but the uncovered bit is still bright enough to do some damage. Glancing is fine.

HOWEVER, you're going to dazzle your eyes if you are looking at the last bit of the [artial and then totality starts and your pupils are pinholes and you can;t see as much of the corona. Look at something else right before -- maybe watch for shadow bands...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_bands

>>16118124
>>16117936
>>16117854
right, but we dont walk around every fucking day averting our eyes from the heavens like a sun god cult. Sometimes you accidentally look directly at the sun or see it pretty clearly in peripheral vision. Quickly. i know eyes react differently, no squint reflex, and it doesn't hurt. is the hype, just for morons who think its dark i can literally stare all i want? and if you can just not be a lizard brained dick youll be fine?

does this just all boil down to remember to treat the sun exactly like normal?

Rochester is cloudy as FUCK I'm so pissed. Currently riding the "maybe a drop on temperature will cause a brief clearing during totality!" cope.

I was considering driving up to the Adirondacks but apparently even they ended up cloudy today.

I glanced at the sun for a brief second and now my eyes hurt :(

>>16118812
Yeah.
It means don't be dumb and forget that the sun is still the sun.
Otherwise it isn't more dangerous than a standard sunny day.

>>16118861
since when is the sun a laser

>>16118812
>does this just all boil down to remember to treat the sun exactly like normal?
One theory is typically you have a natural protection since the sunlight is too bright so you won't be able to stare at it long enough to damage your eyes. but if it is partially eclipsed, it is not as bright but presumably can still damage your vision.

bro my eclipse glasses are dark as fuck.. will i actually be able to see anything through them

>>16118836
It's more dangerous because your pupils can dilate permitting more sunlight to enter your eyes

if you are in the path of totality and you are outside and you ejaculate right when totality occurs, would you potentially be the first or the few to ever do something like that? they would write you name in the history books...

>>16118828
Buffalo hit with clouds too. Plan A was Dallas. Rain. Plan B was Austin. Rain. Plan C buffalo. Clouds. Fuck this shit

>>16118906
Depends on refractory period. Hope you're not ready to dilate again

>>16118919
Link it.

I know you arn't supposed to look at it without the glasses but can I sneak a quick peak at it without damaging my eyes?

So the speed of light is 300000km/s. Does that mean it is ok too look at the sun if you can blink faster than every 3.333333ns?

>>16118860
but thats not what it is anon
no where on the internet does it say you can glance at the solar eclipse once or twice during its appearance and be fine. its all, its not even worth it...its seriously that dangerous. that is over hype and confusing. no one is just reminding people to act normal

>>16118922
It's NASA. It's literally the easiest to find, you fuck.

I'm starting to regret not having enough foresight to go watch the total eclipse. Because of that, I'll only get to watch it at 90% from home.

>>16118886
this has been discussed in previous posts

>>16118923
Only if you can see the total eclipse and when the total one happens can you just look at it without any protective equipment.

lol, lmao even

>>16118952
I'll be running around with laser pointers right after everyone takes their glasses off. They'll never suspect it. And I'll finally be rich.

so basically the sun isn't emitting any more harmful or different radiation than normal, it's just so dark your brain doesn't have that normal look away reflex so you can stare longer than normal and fuck your eyes up. So looking for a couple seconds isn't really going to destroy your vision

>>16118943
I mean, if you hate having full function of your eyes and like having sunrays punch holes in them, you can pull a DJT special looking at it directly.

>>16118947
>open it
>he talks about crypto

I am just going to wear 5 pairs of sunglasses

>>16118956
No anon, these examples are exactly what I'm saying. Read my seemingly, and maybe fairly unhinged posts, and get back to me, I'm not retyping again.

>>16118963
yeah my bad sorry, got duped by the channel name and lots of subscribers. deleted the comment

>>16118966
that doesnt do anything

I just made my scientific sacrifice to the sun gods

>>16118900
Depending on your philosophy, it might even be the best orgasm of your life

>>16118960
Basically, the eclipse disables the safety protocols

>>16118966
those protect against uv rays and not light radiation

>>16118960
this is what im understanding. but many refuse to admit it. there is also the concern that your eyes react differently and can exacerbate the damage, but again from what i understand its not a big deal and its not like looking into a dangerous laser, etc...
im convinced there is some illuminati, sun cult, or science religion shit that is either being propagated or lingers from a time long past

>>16118968
The Cleveland Clinic article also says:
>In fact, staring up at the sun at any time of the year can cause real, long-lasting, permanent damage to your vision, even if you’re looking at it for just a few seconds.
Usually it's only kids you have to tell not to look at the sun. Eclipses are the one time adults lose their common sense and star directly at the sun, sometimes even through binoculars. That's why the warnings go out during eclipses and not any other time. I genuinely don't understand what about this confuses or upsets you.

this thread would have 90% fewer posts if we just had the foresight to get a pair of those damn glasses

>>16118983
I bought my glasses in January.

>>16118981
You can glance or look at the sun for less than a second, or half a second. It's not a big deal. REALLY looking, staring, or giving it a good gander, will fuck you up.
This is what my understanding is, BUT I'm not 100% because people are being weird as fuck about it.

How will I know when it's totality

I had assumed most people were going to take very quick glances at the sun, even with the glasses, I would assume there are a lot of fakes.

>>16119005
are you fucking 12? do you know ANYTHING about religions? theyre all sun gods you fucking neanderthal.

ok what if I stare next to the sun. So the sun is in this point between my direct vision and my periphery. is that a way around it?

>>16119011
I'm at work

>>16119018
Go to your science museum someone will let you use their glasses

>>16119015
and now we avert our eyes to the scientific sun and kneel in reverence.
our modern day priests tell us how dangerous even a passing glance is
what is a sun god anon?

I only ever seen the partial eclipse, which was not that special, although I did have a piece of that special glass to view the moon shadow.
Too bad no total eclipse will happen where I live in at least couple of decades, probably more.

I will say though there is a strangely large amount of Indians/Bangladeshi in this chat.

I'd be surprised if no one thought of this, but I'm kinda surprised I haven't heard of it.

How fast would you need to drive to stay in the eclipse the entire time it's moving across the US?
Nearly impossible in a car I'd imagine, but how about a plane? Are there any flight paths recorded for this, maximizing time in the total eclipse that is?? Seems like that that data should be available somewhere online.

>>16119028
kill yourself

>>16119036
1100 to 5000 mph.
The bigger problem, in driving, is that roads don't really follow those paths.

>>16118987
Well, looking at the sun on eclipse day (outside of totality) is the same as looking at the sun any other time. The official recommendation has ALWAYS been to never look directly at the sun for any amount of time without specialized protection. The only thing that's different is that most of the time people don't need to be reminded of that any more than they need to be reminded not to eat grass or not to touch a hot stove; it's something you teach kids and they just stick with it for life. But like I said, some people are retards and will literally just stare up at a partial eclipse with their naked eyes or through unmodified binoculars or telescopes, which is why they have to be warned that it's like looking at the sun any other time. And again, the official line from medical authorities is that it's not safe to look directly at the sun for any amount of time at any time of year.

>tfw only get to see 50% coverage
Maaaan

What happens if I view the eclipse with 3D glasses?

>>16118828
Same boat, I just checked with my eclipse glasses and I can't see a fucking thing. At least I didnt drive anywhere, then Id just be stuck in traffic and still under cloud cover.

>>16119036
You'd need a fast jet to extend totality. This actually happened with the eclipse back in 1973 aboard a prototype Concorde.

>>16119028
You're actually retarded.
>Mommy told me not to touch the hot stove. How foolish she is, worshiping her stove god, averting her touch from its warmth. Mommy fears the wrath of the stove god, but I know better! I'm not fooled by mommy's silly superstitions!

Will I see the corona through the glasses?

you're only going to be seeing coronal ejections and such during totality, during actual totality you don't need glasses.

There's your answer, numbnuts.

>>16119138
I assume you won't be completely fucking alone, but I guess if you are, don't just stare at the sun for five minutes straight? totality is only around 3 minutes. Just set a timer.

They got some hacks babying us here on this NASA stream. Modern MSM showcases are such a far cry from what was available decades ago. Total eclipse? More like Totalna Dziecinada. They can't even get their facts about eclipses outside of Earth right.

what a strange relief when the sun is coming out again. feels good in a weird way

>>16119159
Decent skies over there.
>>16119193
Yeah, I've running multiple streams now. It's also nice to see the landscape gradually become darker.

>>16119178
ultraviolet false color vs true color

So...why were there no spook theories for previous eclipses and only for this one? I dont remember this shit in 2017

Since when was the sun blindingly White? I was orange/yellow when I was a kid

East TN here. Were getting glimpses from behind clouds.

A solar eclipse... the cosmic ballet... goes on.

It always has been, the only real color that the sun is, has been white for a long time (out of colors visible to the human eye)

gotta give burgers credit, they're capturing this thing pretty nice.

stop looking at it through your phone dumbass

>Got a shitty pair of glasses that I literally can't see shit out of
I missed out on the last eclipse, and I guess now I get to miss out on this one too

>>16119218
There's a reason why you have rainbows on Earth. The sun actually peaks in green on the bluer side iirc, but overall in terms of visible light it is around 5570K for the surface so that does have a tiny bit of yellow tint to it if my knowledge about lightbulbs is anything to go by.

>>16119240
I think its the camera changing filter to a more sensitive one so you can see the circle

Sorry bros but this is horseshit this isn’t the real sun

>>16119243
Won't that fuck up your camera?

In the DFW area, a few minutes before total. It looks like a weird video game render outside where the skybox and environment don't have proper lighting values but the shadows still act as though it were daytime.

Almost there

>>16119176
That looks dangerous.

Tried to 3dfag out a low-poly sun for this and our Solar System in 1 to 1 billion scale for this. The renderer doesn't seem to shade things entirely correctly however at this scale I think looking at the shadow it casts on Earth.

Trying to do the sun in true color and make it look good is actually way harder than doing it in false color due to the limited color palette and contrast available.

Also greetings from Berea, Ohio.

Fucking clear all day. 20 minutes out, clouds appear everywhere.

>>16119282
We have clouds here but thankfully none are covering the sun and I can see it clearly with my glasses.

Wouldn't a true total eclipse also cover the corona? On some streams there's a tiny diamond ring and on others there's this entire glowing mass. Or is it all camera shenanigans and irl people see only see pic related.

It looks much better in person, wish I had a proper camera

>>16119299
Third Impact will occur, actually.

Can I take a phone photo of the eclipse or will it burn out my camera?

>>16119314
Camera shenanigans. The camera lens blows out the corona.

dallas, TX here. No glasses. Took a few passing glances before and after. Like a 1 second sweep of the head. Looked for ~10 seconds during totality. Cloud cover was there but it was still visible for a decent amount of time. Hope my eyes aren't destroyed. Very cool

>>16119318
I took several just fine
see >>16119315

dallas salad

DFW area. Cleared out perfectly for totality. Took a bunch of pics with my S23, but settings sucked, much better experience with the naked eye.

>>16119243
It's a lens flare, where some of the light from the sun diffracts randomly from the surfaces of your lens and goes towards your camera. The light fringes shows what shape-agons your lens are

I swear Americans will freak out over anything
So afraid of life
You told me you are "free"?

>>16119334
If you weren't in the region that had a perfect total eclipse, that red dot on the edge was probably just a bit of sun peeking out.

I tried taking pics with my phone, but I couldn't tell there was anything going until we hit full eclipse and everything went dark. It was fun

>>16119334
bottom edge? solar prominence.

So is the world ending?

Left side of the sun for Jupiter. Saturn and Venus on right

Listen, everyone knows intellectually that the Sun is an eldritch abomination, but we rarely get the chance to SEE it being an eldritch abomination.

Go use your real eyes to peep the horror.

>>16119393
Is west and east mirrored when you see the sky?

Is the atheist explanation for the moon and sun being the exact size and distance to perfectly overlap as seen from Earth unironically that it's just a big coincidence?

daily reminder we can make SOL INVICTUS a reality through the power of starlifting

>>16119409
It does look a bit ominous, and probably feels even more if you have birds chirping around and then going apeshit once it starts to go dark.

>>16119386
Jupiter will be near the Pleiades to the upper left of the sun, venus to the lower right in Pisces

Interesting to see that sunset like lighting across the entire horizon.

89% of the success of this show was down to people wanting to fuck scully, forget the rest of the popsych bullshit that's it.

Quite the opposite for me, it was ominous because everything was so silent, there was no wind and even the dogs stopped barking.

I was suppose to sun bathe nude today, the moon is really throwing off my vibe.

it is not moron. the umbra has about 100km diameter, everybody in it sees as moon is exact size as sun.
this would also be the case if the umbra would be 1km wide, for people in it.
this would also be the case if the umbra would be Earth wide. in all these cases "omg the moon is as big as the sun on skies"
