@brunoph @jerry It was very bright to the naked eye. Very much like rocket exhaust in person, if you’ve ever been to a launch in-person.

My eye glasses prescription is out of date, so I don’t know how resolvable it was to someone with 20/20, but it looked to me almost as if a piece of the Sun was starting to peek out from the bottom of the moon for much of totality. It is only fantastic pics like this that have revealed its true nature to me.
