~ Our highschool distributed eclipse glasses and we went outside for an hour to witness the event.
Area I saw it from got 87-89% coverage
We went outside, looked at the sun, talked, talked some more and talked. Some minutes later maximum point Sky goes dark grey, temperature drops, wind picks up a bit …snapchat snapchat, instagram, social media, looked at it some more and talked. Then we danced a bit and went back inside.
It happened while I was fishing! (I caught 4 trout) from where I was the sky only turned a bit dark like a cloud was covering it and it looked like everything was misty.
my school did the same sort of thing as yours Vex
area I was in was within 1-2 miles of the path, totality lasted 1:28
did you notice dew on the ground during/after?
I drove to a library that had a program, but it was cloudy, so we went home. I was able to see the eclipse when we got home though. 5/7 astronomical event w/ rice.
tried to use my phone camera, saw nothing. friends neighbor had one of those cereal box with tinfoil with a pinhole things, so I saw a pinhole of light with the vague shape of a moon covering part
2/10 will have to wait until 2024 to rate it again
When the moon passed by, it only dimmed the sky and the ground. It was barely noticeable. The darkness could be mistaken for an overcast. The event still was quite a spectacle. Can’t wait for 2024’s eclipse!
I bet my friend $10 to stare at the totality through a telescope (Which would have caused severe eye damage) but unfortunately in Houston it was a bit overcast and a fucking cloud covered the sun.
