NASA live feed of the eclipse for those interested.

1. Much THX....

36. It is remarkable that the moon is just about the perfect size to accomplish this.

If it was much bigger you wouldn't see the corona or solar flares. If it was much smaller you wouldn't get totality.

[littlemissmartypants]

40. It's that in conjunction with the juxtaposition of the moon's shadow and the

the sun and the moon itself that create the conditions that are just right for the eclipse to appear. When taking all of that into consideration it's truly remarkable.

[honest.abe]

42. Yes indeed. Alot of moviing parts to get this to work!

[highplainsdem]

2. Thanks!

[FemDemERA]

3. Thank you

For this

[honest.abe]

4. Cool! Its events like this that help us realize how small we are in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks for posting!

5. Only 78-79% here in NM

It's just as well, the sky is overcast, hazy. It's already getting a bit gloomy, got an hour to go to peak gloominess.

15. It was clear here in Silver City.

But I was surprised because it definitely made things less bright and a bit dim but I thought that, given it was 75% coverage, it would be a lot darker.

[Warpy]

20. Nope, you need to have about 90% occlusion to get things appreciably darker

There was one in the 70s that was about 95% in Boston. I popped across the river into Cambridge and ran into a real zoo, morons dressed in fringe, feathers and face paint banging drums to make the evil spirit disgorge the sun.

It's already nearly back to normal here, a whole lotta nothin.

Well, at least the crooked preachers in Tejas got another reason to suck money out of the faithful.

6. Thanks. This is the only way I'll get to see it; it's overcast here.

Maybe it will get a little darker than it already is...

[calimary]

38. It's overcast where we are, too. Barely even dimmed.

But we were watching the coverage every moment.

[Beaverhausen]

7. thanks!

[slightlv]

8. Its bright and sunny here in kc

So of course we're not in the path of totality. If we were I can guarantee it'd be overcast!

9. thank you for posting! nt

10. Kick

And Rec

[Hugin]

11. I did walk out and look up through my viewers at what I can see here...

It is moving quickly. There’s not going to be any cool light tricks because of the diffusion of the clouds, but I can comfortably see the eclipse.

[CANADIANBEAVER69]

12. during the Mazatlan shots, did we see solar flares?

If so, that's pretty cool

[elleng]

14. I may have caught one:

16. NASA has the best coverage... just pretty music

The news channels are obnoxious

[catbyte]

17. Agreed. That's why I chose this feed.

All that blah blah blah gets on my nerves, too.

[IcyPeas]

23. Even The Weather Channel on tv is disappointing.

I thought their coverage might be good.... but too much blah blah blah

I mean they just keep talking and talking and repeating over and over.... there's nothing else to say


I feel sorry for these reporters because obviously they are expected to do this... it's exhausting.

39. We watched a combination of CNN, MSNBC, and NBC local.

Portland OR wouldn’t have been a decent viewing spot anyway, being so far to the west of the path. But the coverage was interesting and over all, I thought, well done. Combination of scientific experts and happy enthusiastic amateurs.

[llmart]

34. This country would be better off if all the blah, blah, ended.

I'm digging NASA's music! I'm in northern Macomb and it was spectacular! A bit eerie too.

[catbyte]

35. It was eerie, even in Lansing. I forgot to get glasses so I just watched the NASA feed but it

was so dim at the peak that it felt like I was wearing sunglasses inside even though the sun was shining. I noticed a lot of my neighbors were out watching it which was cool. No wonder ancient people got spooked and thought the world was ending. These days, there's no excuse for it. Steve Bannon and his bogus prayer BS.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

18. Yes. Thank you. nt

[catbyte]

19. It's really dimming down where I am in Michigan and there's still about 20 minutes until the peak.

We're only getting 96% totality here.

[malaise]

21. Nothing here in Kingston

Ah well

[dweller]

22. View of the eclipse from the far side of the moon today

😎

[honest.abe]

24. My brother was in Carbondale IL and saw a bright star and a satellite when it went total.

The street lights kicked on and got cooler.

Amazing but now he has to deal with traffic getting home!

25. Screenshot from Indianapolis

[Think. Again.]

26. Is that a solar flare at 5 o'clock?

[honest.abe]

28. Looks that way. I saw it earlier on another view. Also another one up higher perhaps.

Amazing!

[Think. Again.]

43. it's a big one.

[stage left]

27. I'm in Greenville, South Carolina

3:15. It's a gold crescent. I think we're getting about 78 or 80% totality. Scattered clouds. Still have a good bit of light.

[Charlie Chapulin]

29. Thank you for posting this link.

[markodochartaigh]

30. I'm so happy

that I traveled back to Texas to see totality. There is really nothing like it.

[usonian]

31. Screenshot from Cleveland. Wow

[Stardust Mirror]

32. so this proves the earth is flat, right?

except it's from NASA, part of some evil scheme dontcha know

/jk jeez

33. Darkness At Noon n/t

37. Nice CME! (nt)
