Looking at the sun pre-totality and post-totality is a matter of how much energy you allow to get to your eyes. That means that TIME has a big role to play. During and after the diamond ring effect, it starts to be dangerous, but if you look for 0.5 to 0.75 seconds, your retina will be affected for about 3 minutes, but you would have looked at it directly for a short period of time. So it's not cut and dry 'don't look at it, period.' We all have different biology and our retina' fragility to a post-totality light will vary. It's all about total energy. So why are TV stations and people in authority tell us not to look? It's all about liability, inability of children to understand the concept and to some degree, stupidity of some adults. You will not turn blind instantly if you peek for less than a second. However, I can tell you that there is no point in doing it though, there is too much light to witness anything interesting. Keep your eclipse glasses on and see interesting stuff.

I have a lifelong interest in astronomy and waited my whole life to see a total eclipse; I’ve seen an annular (“ring of fire”) solar eclipse and many partials but never been in the path of totality. But my daughter flew in and we drove from Houston up to a ranch near Waco (within a couple miles of the totality centerline). The clouds cooperated and it was truly amazing. What an amazing experience! At 64, I’m not sure I’ll be able to travel to the next one in 20 years so I’m really glad I checked this box on the bucket list. Totality is so much better than any partial eclipse; even 90%-plus coverage. Highly recommended - please do make the effort if you can! I noted some unusual responses from the animals on the ranch; cows started lowing like it was sunset, horses circled up, etc. Really interesting …

There are a few 40' tall cedars in my apartment's backyard filled with birds. They were making their usual racket until the eclipse darkened, then few to no peeps until the sun returned. The thing I found the most interesting about the eclipse is the color shift over the last minute before and first minute after. Wish I had filmed that instead of over-exposed sun shots with a bunch of internal reflections from the filter stack.

@mattmichael6792 Ай бұрын

Thank you Anton! I’ve seen a lot of great pictures of yesterday’s eclipse, but none representing what I experienced. It’s so much more than an image of the sun being blocked by the moon. Until totality, the changes in light, shadow, and temperature are subtle and gradual, as familiar as an increasingly cloudy day. But in the final seconds, as the last 1% of the suns direct rays are cut off by the moon, a gentle dreamlike shift in reality suddenly occurs. Nothing can prepare you for it, not even having experienced it before. Instantly it appears to be about 8pm. Nearby objects and people are now barely visible in the deep twilight. Crickets and frogs chirp their soft night rhythms. It’s cold. Up above, a few stars appear and in place of the searing sun is an incomprehensible spectacle, a luminous silver ring with gossamer tendrils radiating in all directions like gods hair blowing in the universal wind. Then before experience can translate into comprehension or even belief, the suns rays blindingly reappear, chasing the impossible night away over the horizon at 1500 miles per hour. Day returns but is it the same day? It’s unlike any other day that’s for certain. And it’s certainly not something that can be conveyed by any photograph.

@DaveCompton5150 Ай бұрын

Photographs show a black disk over the sun. I saw a more 3D purple ball over the sun. Also, as totality ended, a circus cloud was over the sun. It caused a cone of blue light that looked like a laser show, but only for like 1/2 second.

Here in Englewood Ohio' Centennial park about 1/2 a thousand people were gathered for it. It definitely got cooler' while the birds began to hush the people got louder in oohs and ahhs' a few people also began to drop a tear or two ' I as well I'm not afraid to admit was overjoyed at this spectacle in the sky. And yes' the clouds did begin to fade as it was going into totality. What made me drop a second tear was when the adults began to hush like the birds did while the kids oohs and ahhs got louder and then their laughter of joy started.

So that’s what I saw! The Purkinje effect. I live in southern ontario Canada zone 5b. The sun was warm and the air was cold and windy. As partial totality came on the temperature did drop forcing me to put on gloves. I wasn’t located in an area of full totality so it got only partially dark. Looking at my surrounds the land looked shaded. The colours were off. The trees, plants, farm fields my gardens all discoloured in a way that weren’t familiar. I had thought my eyes were screwing up on me and of course associated the offset shaded surroundings as a part of something to do with the eclipse. But I freaked me out. Now thanks to you I have an explanation to this phenomenon. I witnessed the Purkinje effect. Wow 😊 super cool. I like your videos.

I first observed totality at age 11 in Norfolk, VA, on March 7, 1970, in clear conditions. I was a science nerd, immersed in the space program and anticipating the launch of Apollo 13 the following month. The eclipse made a huge impression, and during college I learned about 4-8-24, looked at the path, and formed a firm intention to see it. My wife has cousins in the Akron area, so I suggested a three-state family gathering weekend as the hook. One cousin is an alum of Kent State and took us to an all-day event on Monday to watch on campus, which was perfect. The forecasts were looking dreary until Monday morning, when they said the heavy clouds and overnight rain should be clearing by early afternoon. They did and it was bright sunshine, with some thin high clouds that didn't spoil the show. It didn't get nearly as dark during totality this time as I'd remembered. We could see the planets only. In 1972, it really got nighttime dark, with all the stars out. I guessing the difference was due to some combination of light pollution and cloud scattering. Also, I wasn't able to make out any shadow bands this time, which were pronounced and spectacular in '72. It was still great. My filtered binoculars were terrific, once I could locate the sun. The prominences were... well, prominent, and gorgeous. My gaggle of first-timers were duly thrilled. My wife admitted that she hadn't expected it to be all that, but she was blown away.

While nothing to do with the eclipse, yesterday in Bangkok The Sun hit Zenith as it makes its annual trek into the Northern half of the sky, and at Sunset I took a compass reading and it was directly due West, which I found kind of neat. It's also extremely hot since there's the least amoung of atmosphere between us and The Sun during this week.

I am lucky enough to have an 8" dobsonian telescope with a solar filter and I used it to view the eclipse in Carbondale Illinois. We went to a park and I was the only one with a telescope there so naturally I attracted attention. About a dozen or so people got to look through my telescope during the partial phases and 1 or 2 got to look during totality. The views during totality were just jaw dropping. The detail on the solar prominences through an 8" telescope are a once in a lifetime sort of view.

@AstroParkAstrophotography Ай бұрын

I had the opportunity to watch the eclipse in Erie, PA with my older brother, and it was lots of fun to partake in the science! I noticed the shadow banding, the temperature drop, the birds nesting for the "night", and seeing the solar prominences with my own eyes was breathtaking! I wasn't aware that NASA planned for the ISS to be in position for the eclipse, which is pretty cool. The process of firing the thrusters on the ISS or any spacecraft to avoid hitting other objects is know as a Risk Mitigation Maneuver (RMM), and it's something I'm familiar seeing with the satellites that I work with at Goddard. There's a Collision Avoidance (CA) team that tracks individual pieces of space debris, and they notify all the operations teams to conduct a RMM if the probability of collision is high.

What's also interesting is that in the past The Moon would have appeared larger than The Sun and completely obscured it during eclipses. I did do some rough calculations once and I think I'd come up with numbers along the lines of 150 million years ago The Moon appeared 17% larger than today, so it's quite a slow process. I was inspired by a piece of artwork someone created of Jurassic dinosaurs watching an eclipse and someone commented that The Moon would have been larger then, and I began to wonder how much larger.

Even if it's a near total eclipse, it is a weird experience that stays with you and can see why our ancestors thought it was the end of times. Before noticing it going dark, birds all come in to roost and then a midday morning chorus soon has the moon passes. I do recall of being in a dream like state when the UK experienced a partial eclipse in the late 90's.

The clearing of clouds during the eclipse was a welcome phenomenon, as we were in the totality zone, and we had a cloudy day early on, but we ended up getting a spectacular view of the eclipse including over four minutes of totality here in Texas.

Wobbling on the starlink is likely from the attitude keeping, as it will have a small oscillation around the desired point, especially as the solar panels turn, putting a small torque on the spacecraft, and the attitude keeping allowing the error to build up slightly, as it probably has a large area of acceptable attitude it has to maintain. Wonder just how many have cameras on them, and if those are available to stream and open to all.

I just drove around my town and checked out all the changes visibly, and whatever else. It was a cool experience.

The main prominence was clearly visible from moments after totality began until the end off the coast of Cabo San Lucas. With all the hype of serious solar activity in the weeks prior, I was stunned and a bit disappointed to see the sun so quiescent. What always intrigues me is how fast totality comes and goes. The fastest and most amazing minutes of my life.

Watched the prior total from my driveway, and this last one, was at my buddy's in Dallas. Also managed to avoid all the traffic. Was totslly epic, and my daugter was also only 2 during the prior, so she got to actually enjoy this one.

In Saginaw Texas, it seemed like the cloud cover was going to get in the way. At the last moment the skies opened giving me a unbelievable view of my life. It shined & then went Black & white. Incredible the planets showed up and everything. Street lights came on my Strp Dad even came out

I watched the early part of totality with my 10" telescope at 30x. I had to see prominences up close with my own eyes. We had 3m 18s totality, so the first 90 seconds was utilized for telescope viewing, then a few photos at the eyepiece. The experience is frightening and awesome seeing the Sun's corona and prominences up close and live.

At 9:50 I hope someday we will be able to create that video again, but next time as the ultimate HDR imaging stack with insane dynamic range that makes the moon's surface visible, not just the edge. Perhaps with tandem telescopes, one exposed for the sun and the other exposed for the moon along with a moving mask perfectly fitted & sequence with the moon's landscape shadows but sharpy blocking the sun's surface. This makes me think of the Koyannisquatsi scene where the zoomed in moon is time lapsed as it is being occulted by a building. The moon is way brighter than the building in that scene, but the details of the building are still visible... And of course, that's an insanely small fraction of the dynamic range that would be required to expose the dark side of the Moon and the surface of the Sun simultaneously. I suppose there's probably no scientific value in that data set, I just think it would be another magnitude of mind blowing to see. Who knows, maybe we would detect miniscule but interesting variances of light on the dark side coming from Earth's changing reflection.

I saw the solar prominences! Just a reddish glow off the right-hand side of the sun during totality! It was so cool!

It was an awesome event to witness in the totality zone. I drove from California to Texas for a week long vacation. The BBQ was amazing too. 👌

Is my "mind blown?" Comets going by the sun, then there was "Bill Haley & the Comets,"singing "Rock Around The Clock," not Rock Around The Sun.

I can imagine how scary it would have been for ancient peoples, when their imagery of the skies being like a beautiful painting with moving believed esoteric celestial objects, suddenly manifesting its reality by casting a shadow on them, and thus giving them that sinking feeling of realization of where they are in the universe, and how small they truly are. Until they get that shadow, they did not really believed anything posed any real danger, unless it was an incoming comet, meteoroid, or a thing casting a very real and effectual shadow.

During totality, our alpacas headed to the barn, the sheep gathered together, and the guineas went crazy....basically getting ready for bed nighttime behavior. Noticed the color change and the flares mentioned, but also the wavy ground lines.

I was supposed to work during the eclipse, but the hotel manager decided to shut down for the eclipse. It was one of the most joyous moments of my adult life. I am a sucker for anything astronomy related, and it was even better than I expected. I really would've wanted to be lost in the forest to see it, to see the changes on fauna and flora, but I was on top of a skyscraper instead.

I only had an 85% eclipse but the humans in the neighborhood all stopped making noises - the leaf blowers and the lawn mowers went quiet. 😊. But then clouds moved in and I couldn’t see a thing through my eclipse glasses. At that point, through the clouds, the sun was devoid of color (as if it was the moon) and I was able to use my phone to grab a picture of the partial eclipse. And then the lawn mowers started up again and the neighborhood got active again. The show was over. 😢

We often get deer walking through our yard. During the eclipse a deer settled down under a tree getting ready for the evening. Once the eclipse was over it got up and left.

Thanks, lots of good info! I was surprised that you did not mention shadow bands and people's observations of them during the eclipse. As for the painful eyes being due to looking at the sun, without protection, I have a different explanation: Hypochondria. A lot of people that perhaps were just slightly careless in their use of eye protection but weren't hurt at all by it, probably thought "I wonder if I hurt my eyes? Hmmm, I notice my eyes are hurting." A lot of people's eyes 15:35 are going to hurt quite a bit of the time because they're on their device or computer all the time, but they don't notice it unless they pay attention, and even if it isn't hurting, it may feel like it is when you start thinking about it. That's what I think happened
