Sure did. But it wasn't hers, it was both of the sisters together.

It got slightly darker for a bit but not totally dark. I knew some people who asked off work and drove hours to where it would be full eclipse.

Of course I did, even though I had a 75% eclipse, it was still awe-inspiring

>>30779755
I did this and it was absolutely worth it. A solar eclipse was happening in my hometown, so I had to go see it.

This.

Sky got a little dark but that was it. Kinda disappointed with the eclipse but I at least went swimming at the beach which was fun while it was happening.

Wasn't even a partial one in my area

I did. Spent 13 hours of the worst traffic to get to it and it was still absolutely worth it. Apparently I was in the best viewing area in the path too, because it was an absolutely clear sky.

The one thing you do realize, though, is how much you need the Sun. Because you notice, even at about 25% coverage, how quickly the air seems to cool. The sky begins to gray, and color almost looks like it's draining from the world.

Then about a half an hour later, it's noticeably cold, and any wind has stopped. The birds stop singing, and all the insects seem to have disappeared.

Then the strange things begin. Just a few minutes before the eclipse, shadows around you start to change. Even though there's less light, they become sharper, and more intense. Everything takes a sort of hard, lifeless sort of lighting, before you begin to see the ground seem to move as snake-like bands of shadow slither across the ground.

Finally you see a great wave of purple twilight approach from the horizon, and in seconds, consume the entire sky. The eclipse beginning when the head of the wave touches the moon and sun.

Finally, there's a flash, and there you'll see the eclipse. And as it happens, you could only sit and stare in absolute awe. It's more luminescent than you'd think, the edges of the sun glittering in the sky like fiery diamonds, and the horizon glows on all sides, like in the hours before dawn, just without a definite edge. The world explodes in color, but in alien shades of red, orange, and violet, and for but a moment, it feels as if time itself has stopped.

Then the eclipse explodes in light as the sun peeks through, and it's over just as quickly as it began. Finally, after a couple hours, the world feels as if nothing ever happened.

You might call me sappy for writing it so poetically, but I feel that my description doesn't even do it justice. No image or video portrays how insane seeing it in person was.

>>30782096
That was actually a pretty cool description.

>>30782096
Nah dude you put it perfectly. I only had 85% coverage where I was at, and fully plan on traveling to and area of 100% in 2024. I heard that stars were visible at the peak, did you see any?

>>30782228
I could really only notice Venus and maybe Mars.

It was cool since they were both lined up with the eclipse and pretty close.

There's something poetic about that.

The close ones are Mars and Venus. It's not visible in this image but Jupiter is waaay to the left.

>>30782292
I meant to say the close ones are Mars and Mercury. Gah...

>Because you notice, even at about 25% coverage, how quickly the air seems to cool. The sky begins to gray, and color almost looks like it's draining from the world.
i had 90% coverage, and this is so true. it was the weirdest thing. It's not like the sun going down. Color literally starts fading. I'm ogin to the next one in 2024. I will plan around anything to see it.

>>30780960
if you weren't in totality, then that is why

>>30779725
I did. It was kind of neat at 85% totality, but nothing too special. The light slowly going darker and banana sun through the eclipse glasses were probably nothing compared to if it were a total solar eclipse.

>>30779725
Does the total eclipse in 2006 count?
Was amazing though, especially for a little schmuck.

My family and I woke up early and drove about an hour to go see the total eclipse. There were even no clouds blocking the view unlike the lunar eclipse a few years ago
