Lights came on here. Was a definite ring. But phone camera just shows a bright dot. Two stars (planets?) also visible during totality.

Damn clouds messed it up for me.
Partial clouds allowed use of my white oakleys to view.

The pink streamers were insane. Especially right when the moon moved away and the entire right edge of the moon lit up with them.

This was not a scientific or astronomical event for me - it was a spiritual experience.

Noticed the temp drop more than anything. I’m guessing it got close to 80% or so.

I cut one of the lens from the eclipse glasses and taped over the camera lens. Totality pics were taken with no cover.

Saw it in downtown LR. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever witnessed. I totally was not expecting the emotional reaction I had to it.

Yeah it was probably like 80-90% here and never got any darker than “late afternoon dark”.

Still, I think a full moon on a clear night is pretty cool so worth walking out the door for.

Glad I could be back in Arkansas for totality, that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen

Didn't expect it to get THAT dark. It was bizarre

Still nothing in Massachusetts. I’m outside with the dogs now and it just seems like a normal sunny day
