9 months agoI doubt you saw all that for 2-3 minutes, but if you’re happy with what you saw then that’s all that matters, really. Enjoy April 8th and clear skies!

If you can travel to be in the path of totality that day, DO IT. I have seen 2 total solar eclipses so far. While the deep partial phases (>95%) are amazing on their own, nothing compares to actual 100% totality. Only during totality can you safely look directly at the Sun (because it’s entirely hidden). Only during totality can you see the Sun’s corona for several minutes, as a whitish ring of light around the black hole that used to be the Sun.
Be safe and clear skies everyone!
Yes. In totality, you can safely stare at a black hole of a Sun for 2-3 minutes on end, no glasses required, and marvel at the fine details of the corona and the intense red-pink light of the chromosphere. You get to experience a profound bone-chilling realization that we are on a literal rock hurtling through space.
The boycott is “organized crime” in their eyes.
