Here everyone, a thread for your North American solar eclipse experiences from yesterday, August 21, 2017 (and a thread for anyone anywhere else for their eclipse experiences!)
I was in the path of totality, witnessing a total solar eclipse in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. I tell you, there is nothing like experiencing, for yourself, a total eclipse! Three pronged corona that shows up clear as... night? and spreads out far and away from the sun, with several prominences, and that eerie sensation before and after as though the entire world has been covered by an instagram filter. I saw some couples making out, one woman was weeping, and several children wide-eyed with wonder at the cosmic ballet that befell us! The birds were silent, the crickets started chirping, and the freakish red glow from all around the horizon that only occurs during the eclipse, all an experience that really does change you, burns an impression in your mind that will never leave, and that 2 minutes and forty seconds that felt all too fleeting...
I'll have my pics up in a bit from when I get them uploaded. I have some phone pics, but they're a bit unfocused as of now, and you can barely make out the eclipse itself.

I saw the partial eclipse with some borrowed glasses, then went back to work

for some reason I thought it was going to be around noon to 1 pm my time but it was like an hour earlier. I kept looking outside (not at the sun) to see if the sjy was getting dark all of a sudden but never noticed a thing.

I didn't have any eclipse glasses. I still looked up at the sun though. I didn't go blind

This is the best image I got for totality.
*edit* Tinypic sucks now, and Google Photos doesn't upload here.

I thought that it had happened earlier and that I missed it. So my boyfriend and I were surprised when we walked outside and see that it was dark.

My part of Florida was supposed to get it at 92% or something like that. Instead, we got a lolclipse. On a positive note, I'll be on the path of totality for the 2045 solar eclipse. I mean, I'll also be 60...

I mean, I'll also be 60... Lol, here in Indy, we get another one in 2024, right smack through the middle of the state. The moon will be near its maximum perigee (closest point to the Earth's surface during its orbit), so the eclipse will be 'larger', longer, and darker. I probably won't be here, but my folks likely will be then, so I'll probably come in to see them come April of 2024.

It got a little dark outside for about five minutes and then went back to normal.
Woo.
