Totality in upstate NY - Lemmy.World

We were in upstate NY, and got extremely lucky with a hole in the clouds right around the sun at totality. The red at the bottom was unexpected and very cool to see. It’s a solar prominence

The clouds parted just in time for us for totality as well! Talk about lucky, eh?

That’s not a moon, it’s a space station!

Lived in upstate NY for a few years. All I got was “coldest month ever recorded” smh

Back in the day, somewhere in the 90ies my dad took us children and drove 3 hours to Munich - and we went somewhere close to the airport so we could oversee the whole airport - to see the solar eclipse.

I remember it was so cool, the airport had to turn on the lights on the runways so the airplanes could still operate :D
