I was in ~80% zone. It wasn’t 80% darker. It was maybe 25% darker. Web searching that phrase just gives me times and such.
minus-square@QuarterSwedelink10•9 months agoYou’re just thinking visible light. There was almost no infrared in my 75% zone. Usually the sun is very warm out in the open (we’re at high altitude) but during the eclipse it was out but felt like I was in a shadow.
