i’m seeing some of the photos that are starting to come out and honestly you make a good point. it does seem like it’d be pretty cool to see in person.

The pictures do not do it justice. I have yet to see a picture that accurately captures what I saw. Seeing just the mass ejection coronas was incredible.

It was like everything else stopped existing for that brief few minutes. There were clouds in the sky but I luckily was in an area that was clear during totality. I've never seen anything like it and will certainly travel to see it again.

I was in the path of totality, but it was crazy cloudy. Figured why not, let's see it get dark. It was nuts. As the total eclipse started you could perceive the light getting darker quickly. Almost like a dimmer switch got the sky. Then it was dark and cold. It was super cool! I couldn't even see the sun but it was still awesome.
