Sheril KirshenbaumWe traveled to Toledo, Ohio last night for today’s #eclipse. The journey from here depends on the clouds.
Wishing everyone clear skies & great viewing. Have fun & make sure to protect your eyes. https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses
We landed in Napoleon, Ohio - the home of the Campbell’s Soup factory - for today’s total #eclipse.
The view was spectacular.
How did your experiences go? /2

Shhh!!! 🤫 Campbell's should be in Camden, NJ. Been there since 1869 — part of the Garden State legacy. https://www.northjersey.com/story/entertainment/dining/2022/08/16/campbells-first-can-condensed-soup-camden-nj-tomatoes/65385988007/ 😊

Arlenecw@Sheril We had a spectacular eclipse. Unfortunately, we’re still stuck in traffic in Maine. Still worth it.
mask-wearing, socially distant entity@Sheril Cool! We had 98.8% coverage. I only accidentally looked at the sun once, when the eclipse glasses slipped. Doh!
The weirdest part here was how foreign it looked outside. Not nighttime, but not daytime either. Like a movie with a weird, faded colorization.
Ted Lemon@Sheril The view was great in Calais, Vermont. Wow.
Tony WellsI watched the NASA feed as I'm a few thousand miles away. It was fun to join in at each site as the path moved. I've seen a partial, but hoping to get to Spain in 2026 for a total!
MonarchLady@Sheril I had so much fun running around with my colander and casting "sunspots" on peoples' bellies so they could get selfies of it that I forgot to get one of myself!

I briefly looked out the window, saw the dense cloud - and since it would only reach ~20% coverage in Seattle anyway, I vicariously followed everyone's reactions on here instead!
(I've seen a total solar eclipse - and a ~92% one - before, so I didn't feel completely left out...)
Peter Christensen@Sheril My wife and I were able to experience totality from our backyard. Even though I've heard and read a lot about how overwhelming a total eclipse can be, I was completely unprepared for how astonishingly beautiful and moving it was. Words or pictures truly cannot do it justice. Feeling so lucky today. Hope your experience was equally as awesome!
SeaCaptain(Ret)@Sheril Wife & I planned to be on the centerline, east of Del Rio, TX. The clouds were thick and visibility poor. Lt rain as we approached Del Rio so we decided to blow off the centerline and view from Del Rio. We didn’t see the sun until it briefly appeared at ~25% obscured. Totality was mostly obscured by clouds, no corona seen due to cirrus clouds. After totality clouds thinned noticeably. This was my 3rd total and didn’t come close to the awesomeness of the first two.
Kevin Dixon@Sheril Our travel plans ended up cancelled, but we got a fun view of the partial from the back yard! (We put together a solar filter for my daughter's telescope.)

Randall Lee@Sheril good luck. It's looking mostly cloudy for Akron's view of the eclipse
Nick has moved to Mathstodon@Sheril I stayed put and it worked out for me. Hope it worked out for you too. For both of the recent eclipses cloud cover was a near thing, but I lucked out in both cases.
