“what’s the sense in having an eclipse if you can’t look at it? somebody in production sure slipped up this time!”

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
And yet, I just advised another friend of maybe NOT watching it….. it‘s just so dangerous for our frail eyes.

yes, everyone has to be safe, so watch in your own way, and that may be by looking at an image online or television

We will all watch it through the photos taken by special lenses. It’s not visible here anyway

Are your schools closed? They closed ours as the timing of the eclipse is during their return home from school.

Kids were offered to leave early and most of them dead at the end it was the faculty by the time it happened along with a few children and parents

Ah, that clever Schulz. I wonder if he ever asked what the point of calling something that isn’t a nut a peanut.

What a waste. We have cloudless skies in Denver but we’ll only get about a 65% eclipse. To those of us not looking up, the event will hardly be noticeable.

No eclipse viewing here in southern Minnesota. Way too cloudy. But I felt a drop in temperature.

Sorry but at least you felt the atmospheric difference, something special about it. Most of our kids had left by the time it happened most of our children were gone, but faculty and a few parents and kids were left. It was very unusual and beautiful. It got darker outside, shadows changed, the air got still, and cold, birds and bugs out, and it lasted only a few minutes and then was gone. The light returned like nothing had happened

Ha ha. The partial eclipse was nice to see using eclipse glasses. However, here in Dallas we had a total eclipse and that you could look straight at without glasses. It looked like a black circle surrounded by a fuzzy light that was a lot less bright than the sun and therefore safe to look at. It was the sun’s corona. You could also see the stars and the planet venus was right above close to zenith, where it is never during normal circumstances.
Well venus is close to sun but you can’t see it when the sun is up so that’s why you see it west after sundawn or east in the morning.

We were right in the main path and it was beautiful. As soon as it went dark our bat came flying out of the woods. 🤣 We were suppose to be inundated with so many people that the bank closed at noon, schools closed all day, my daughters doctors office closed and so on.
