Solar Eclipse

[greeneyedguy001]

Anyone else manage to see it?

It wasn't the best of mornings here for it, but did manage to see some of it.

too cloudy to see a thing. it got a tad darker, it got a tad lighter.

 

[RedAllan]

Like Dolf said, got Darker got lighter, stayed cloudy, might rain soon. Looks like being a dull day all round.

not a sniff of it. here in a london suburb the clouds were so dense and grey i didn't notice any lessening or increasing of the light. fortunately i have memories of a very different experience from 99(?) when it was incredible, moving, hair-lifting and awesome all rolled into one.

 

[DesEsseintes]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't say too much more now. Busy worshipping Apollo and dancing bacchanalian dances with the wood nymphs.

Just incredible. I feel as Miles and Vette must have felt when they first saw the wheel.

I loved how the birds all roosted. I'm far enough North for the 90% effect. Here we had light cloud for the first half of it, which gave a strange twighlight, and then clear sky as the moon began to move away. I hadn't prepared anything for actually seeing the crescent but the light effect and the stillness of wildlife was memorable.

No, it was too dark here.

This thread is in danger of being eclipsed.

I once took a pair of binoculars and stared at the sun for over an hour.

My wife was on a bus journey at the maximum cover of the sun. Where she was, the cloud cover was sufficiently thick to allow her to look sun-wards, yet sufficiently thin for the shape of the sun to show. So she and all the others travelling could see the thin crescent of the sun with unshielded eyes. Envy!

Mass interest in a fairly mundane orbital event has a distinctly flat earth vibe to it.

Do you use one of those text to speech programs?

And interest in that fairly mundane activity of copulation - does that need flattening too?

Braille.

 

[Noor]

Braille.

How does that work with Lit?

Quite well, it seems.
