2017 Great American Eclipse

[funnier6]

I don't live anywhere near the path of totality so it's gonna be pretty disappointing I guess.

Same my dude...

It was pretty cloudy here in Chicago as well as in Carbondale where there was a total eclipse in Illinois. But at least the darkening of the sky was there.

We got 100% coverage. Unfortunately my phone couldnt get enough detail for a good picture. All it saw was a yellow ball, even during the total eclipse.

I just witnessed it, and holy **** it was beautiful. I wish I could see it again.

I was in the 96% area it was cool but not as cool as a total would have been.

It was great, and a one hour drive back home only took 2 hours

 

[Alita the Pun]

I got 80% where I am but I had to mow someone's lawn while it was happening so it was kinda disappointing. I saw pictures though and it looks awesome!

Everything was quiet and the sun was on dim but if I didn't know I probably wouldn't have realized there was an eclipse.

Luckily the 2024 total eclipse is a lot closer to where I live so I might get to see that one.

I believe I was in an 80% coverage area, but I went out with my dad and we took some welding masks to get a good look. It was pretty neat to see it pass by.

8/10. Would eclipse again.

I was right on the path of the moon's shadow so I got to see the full eclipse. It was pretty amazing

I barely missed the full eclipse because I was in the region of it for about a week.

 

[Fraxinus]

I got to see it at 90% from the parking lot of the doctor's office. There was quite a bit of cloud cover obscuring the view for all the people with the viewing glasses, but my box thing projected the shape through the clouds for me pretty well.

 

[Spirit]

I dont know why ya'll were excited. The last eclipse wasnt much fun...

 

[Castle]

Yup. That was a thing that happened.
