Did you use a colander to see or take pics of the eclipse? I know we laugh at it, but I seriously enjoy seeing others’ colander pics. In such a divided time, at least we all have colanders in common! Anyone remember Hands Across America? This is like that, but with colanders 🤣 Please post your pics and use the hashtag #Colanderstronomy (and maybe #ColandersAcrossAmerica?). Here’s mine, from #Colorado:

@JudieLC Very nice! Were you somewhat close to the path of totality? Thank you for sharing!

@tiamat271 We had 87% where we were, so not totality. Still we noticed changes in the ambient light and color at peak eclipse time, and we all suddenly felt a cool breeze at that time. Was so cool viewing it through eclipse glasses. I was surprised at the difference, as I was in an 80% eclipse zone in 2017 and the changes were nowhere near as marked.

@JudieLC That is so interesting! Sounds like that extra 7% really makes a difference!

@tiamat271 Apparently so!
