The moon went in front of the sun
There were some clouds, but I managed to catch a usable photo or two

Anyone else notice the divit at the bottom? I saw it real time but wasn’t sure if it was just my perspective. Seems like it showed here too.
By divit, I’m talking about an itty bit of sun showing at the bottom.
Is it a larger crater on the moon? Light refraction cause by the gravity of the moon?
I viewed from the Perot Museum in Dallas and the announcement came on that it may have been a solar flare that was visible to the naked eye (due to the eclipse).
I watched some of the nasa livestream since I don’t have eyewear in a ~96% area, and it’s total overcast anyway. They basically said it’s a
CME (or flare?)edit: “solar prominence”, and not surprising due to the sun being near the most active phase of its 11-year cycle.Pretty cool that one made such a clear appearance. If you search for solar flare, you’ll see images of that similar arch visible in the photo. Must have been amazing to see one with the naked eye.
It just looked like a little pink dot on the edge without magnification.
Yeah, it was the cherry on top (or bottom) of observing a total solar eclipse.
There were a few telescopes set up at the Perot, but I wasn’t able to view totality through them.
You talking about Bailey’s beads or the little red “pimple” looking thing on the bottom?
Bailey’s beads are caused by the not-smooth lunar surface letting light pass in irregular ways.
That little red bit was possibly a solar flare.
We noticed and I was able to focus our amateur telescope… It was incredible, like a neon sign extending from the sun
Probably a software or deployment bug. Some asshole fucked up our rolling update of this shard. Won’t see another update in quite awhile
Twenty years from what I heard! Man, what kind of schedule is that?!?
