I didn't bestir myself to get a good view, but Sis said she could see that the shadows were wrong, and that it was interesting and eerie how the day was sunny and dark at the same time.

ReplyDeleteThe Family came in waves, 15 of us in all. It will take them many hours to get home as the droves of tourists head out together. Traffic on the interstate is going 11mph...!
ReplyDeleteAnd it was all well worth it!!!
I've experienced several partial eclipses but that's nothing compared with Totality! It is beyond words. Dark, the temperature drops 10 degrees... here, the Moon covered the Sun COMPLETELY (no annular ring of fire), then at last a glow appears around the edge of the entire Moon, and you realise that the red dot near the bottom of the Moon is actually a solar flare!
We had 3 minutes and 9 seconds to enjoy viewing this amazing spectacle without needing eclipse glasses! Then the Diamond effect came back as eclipse glasses again became mandatory. And! Daughter, who had to be in Switzerland on business was able to Zoom in to the party, and during Totality we were able to turn the computer so she could see it too!
I got it all with my super nice camera! Photos will post on our very next thread!!
Outstanding! (Except for the interstate traffic, which sounds like a good reason to not head out until the next morning.)
