    maybe i just dont know what fun is, but i’ve never really been that into solar eclipses. i think it’s cool if other people are into it, i just never really got the appeal of it personally. it might be one of those things where you either get it or you don’t

        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.

          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.

          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.

        no i havent, and honestly that might be the main reason why i dont understand the appeal. but it’s also hard to commit to the amount of planning and preparation necessary to see an eclipse if i don’t really understand the appeal

          I feel it. I was lucky enough to be able to step outside and see it and it was absolutely worth it.
