It's just overcast enough here that the prominences will be obscured. :confused:
I actually got to see it and I only used my sunglasses.
Oh shit. Wait......................I CAN'T SEE ANYMORE.............I'M BLIND!!!!!!!!
Typical Ohiya overcast for terrestrial/celestial free shows! The last time Eddie saw an eclipse, he ran naked down the street banging pots, and pans together. I followed behind fully clothed, banging coconuts together(they paid me $10).
Got my welder's shade out for a couple of quick glances. No more than 50% occlusion here at peak.
You could just make out the lower lunar limb.
Did the same here Fred......we had about 86% occlusion here with light conditions making it look like an early summer evening ........my Kitchen got as dark as you would get on a dull overcast day! deepened shadows outside never seen it like that before but total partiality here was at 10:20 am PT and 15 minutes later everything was back to normal! It was a cool event,despite us just getting a partial eclipse! :yes:Quote:

Bode and all the others being equal, the amount of energy reaching Earth wasn't diminished by all that much. The animals, however, picked up on the changing light flux. I noticed a slight uptick in insect noises which are usually nocturnal.Quote:
