Solar Eclipse 2024

No luck for me.

Couldn't get a filter for my phone in time and lowering exposure didn't work for me.

But a friend sent me one he got.

Freind in D.C. got this shot of the eclipse.

And a second follow up.


Seen a few good ones.

Pity my phone wasn't up to it.

it was a wash here as well the sky was overcast and it honestly diddent even get all that dark DX


i'll be like 110 years old the next time this one comes around DX


and while i fully intend to surrender my humanity to become immortal im sure in my new existance as a cold and unfeeling machine I'll no longer care about mundane cleastial phenominia.

The lack of any portals to a diffrent reality is truly disappointing.

I got lucky. Right in the path of totality with clear crystal clear skies and a comfortable 60 degrees. (Northern Maine. This is the warmest it's been since like, August.) The whole shop stepped out back to watch it. Some with viewers, others with welding helmets turned up to 12. I gotta say, I didn't expect the shadow of the moon to elicit any emotions from me.

Clear skies and such here but tech failures ruined my pictures. My tablet wouldn't connect to my camera and lost more time getting my phone to do the job

Here in Lansing, MI we got 96% coverage. I know 3 hours away in Ohio they got 100% coverage.

Living right where it was having totality, should have gotten a show, but the whole place was completely overcast with dark clouds.  Can't imagine how angry the people who drove 16+ hours to be here were.

I was one of those people.  Live in SWPA, found a beautiful cabin in Smithville, OK, woke up to clear blue skies, got to see the beginning, then 10 minutes before Totality, clouds started moving in.  Two minutes before, a big gray cloud parked right over it, stayed until two minutes after, then the clouds went away and we had beautiful weather the rest of the day

I'm so sorry for you. Like Nature just stopped and decided to give you the finger.

Shame that i haven’t seen the partial eclipse because of cloudy weather, at least the skies turned a bit dark but… guess i’ll wait til 2078 for the next one

Seen 3 eclipses, all about the same, nearly full but not the fully dark ones.
I'm not sure I buy the "not another till 2044" line, seems like they said nexts were decades away the last few times but were like 8 years apart on average.

This is not guesswork, it's not like the moon decides to move a little to one side one morning and causes an eclipse. And yeah, total eclipses happen about once every 18 months, somewhere on Earth, but the area where it's actually total is not very large, and having one happen where you can see it is pretty rare. It's like throwing a die: You'll get one six for every six throws, on average, but sometimes it takes much longer. The non.total ones happen more frequently, so maybe what you observed was that they were saying that the next total one was decades away, but a partial happened much sooner.

Me, I'll try to get to Spain for the total on 2026-08-16. I like Spain. (It's also visible in Reykjavík and the east coast of Greenland).
