Words can’t describe that as an experience. First time I’ve ever seen a total eclipse and it was worth every single penny I paid to come to Texas for it. It went from daytime to complete nighttime within a minute. Stars were visible all over the north Texas sky at 1:43pm. I just simply will never find the words to describe the feeling of witnessing that in real time.

Update. I did see it. Pretty much entirely covered (95% is what we were told).

I did not have the same experience as you. I looked at it for a few seconds, said “that’s pretty neat” and then went about my day. Not at all knocking how it made you feel, I think that’s great you had such a great experience. I just didn’t feel anything.

After seeing this the whole way, it really is different. I've seen a few partial eclipses, and that last few percent matters. Really cool.

I saw 97% in 2018 and thought it was "pretty neat" but that last little 3% to make it 100% is a completely different experience. Don't hate on the totalitarians.
