In case you hadn't heard, there was an eclipse today. The last time that a total eclipse crossed the entire contiguous US from coast-to-coast was in 1918. We had a total eclipse in Canada in 1979 (that also passed over Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and North Dakota) which was a really big deal when I was in grade school, and we got to watch it live on TV. Today I only had about 75% coverage here and it barely got darker out, it just seemed a little hazy. A little late to start a thread about this, but hey, I was busy watching an eclipse.
Cell phone cameras aren't very good for eclipse pics, but I got a few that I thought were cool where you can see the sun, which looks pretty full, along with a reflection that shows the actual coverage.

I like this pic even though you can't tell there's an eclipse:
I guess a lot of people took some pics today:
See you in 2024!
