Did anyone catch the total eclipse? :)
Added 2024-04-09 13:22:28 +0000 UTCI know it's unrelated, but we were talking about the eclipse over at discord, and since my city had one of the best sights in the world, I actually got to watch it easy on a BEAUTIFULLY SUNNY day! And so I promised to share a video I took with my old-ass phone! XD
I had my friends and other people constantly talking in the background so muted the video for the most part, and edited it down, but if you missed it, or were wondering what it looks like, here is a short clip - mind you, from an old PHONE - it was breathtaking in real life!
Also, this was 3PM on one of the brightest days the city has ever seen. How cool! :D

2024-04-12 20:36:28 +0000 UTCI felt the same, until I saw it and I think it's totally hype now XD

2024-04-12 20:36:05 +0000 UTCIf it's 90% did it just get kinda dark and cold and that's about it or?
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-12 20:35:48 +0000 UTCNever thought the day would come for me too :D
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-12 20:35:24 +0000 UTCSomehow, I think it could still be quite beautiful :D
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-12 20:35:15 +0000 UTCIt was so good :D

2024-04-12 20:35:03 +0000 UTCRLLY? Where are you at?!
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-12 20:34:51 +0000 UTCNot that I'm aware of! :D Should be same everywhere - some people will do something, some won't!
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-12 20:34:43 +0000 UTCWow that photo is SICK! Awesome shot!
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-12 20:34:29 +0000 UTCI didn't, but thank you so much for sharing this video! That was awesome. I remember when I was younger that I saw one - I believe I was in High School at the time (I remember being at the High School with all the other kids and making sure we weren't looking at it directly). I don't think it was a total eclipse, but I can't remember for sure.

2024-04-10 07:44:20 +0000 UTCI traveled about 9 hours North to see it in the States. Namely I went to see my family and hometown friends, who threw a great 'eclipse' party. Honestly I wasn't too hyped going into it, but had tears in my eyes when it happened. Was truly astonishing. And there is something magical looking up at the sky knowing millions/billions are doing the same

2024-04-10 04:31:32 +0000 UTCIt was around 90% here, but very cloudy. Saw it, but only for a second.

2024-04-10 02:39:32 +0000 UTCThanks for this! I’ve never been in the path of a total eclipse so that was super cool to see.

Jade
2024-04-09 18:05:20 +0000 UTCit wasnt bad weather it was more of the look, and it was cloudy too

2024-04-09 17:23:40 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing. Do Koreans do anything unique to celebrate something like an eclipse?

2024-04-09 17:13:52 +0000 UTCI saw it! My city was only 98% so we drove an hour north for the full totality and it was so worth it! Here’s pic from my view! https://ibb.co/bN9RTmJ (not sure if that formatted sideways when it uploaded 😅) We really lucked out with the weather, completely empty skies but ofc that cloud had to float by at the exact moment. At least we could see through it

2024-04-09 16:35:29 +0000 UTCNoope, I'm in Brazil but NASA was broadcasting hahaha I was watching another video like "Oh 4 minutes this video, I have time..." But them I saw another and another and I lost hahaha

2024-04-09 16:25:31 +0000 UTCYup!
Zesti
2024-04-09 15:51:26 +0000 UTCNo worries at all! It was definitely worth standing outside- once in a lifetime experience! :D
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 15:20:55 +0000 UTCIt's an event for sure! :D Our city was packed with people everywhere nearing totality
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 15:20:35 +0000 UTCFigured many would've had bad weather that day! :D
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 15:20:04 +0000 UTCOh nooooo! It was so cool though :(:(
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 15:19:50 +0000 UTCIt was insane, wasn't it?!
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 15:19:42 +0000 UTC:0 How did that happen?! Did your city get totality as well?
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 15:19:33 +0000 UTCI did hear many places had cloudy weather that day - apparently that's why people from all around the globe came to Canada this time around cuz it was going to be as sunny as it can get!
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 15:19:20 +0000 UTCI think I only experienced partial before as well, and it's certainly not as dramatic because, well, it just gets slightly dimmer as you say! XD
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 15:18:51 +0000 UTCDefinitely a big difference between partial and totality! :D It was wild!
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 15:18:24 +0000 UTCThe fading happened gradually over the course of an hour - it definitely felt weird because it wasn't like a sunset (obviously) but more like someone was gradually putting darker sunglasses over my eyes. The first few seconds of the video was already at a point where it was extremely dark, as you can see, then it was just pitch black. But leading up to it, yeh - it was definitely getting colder and darker every minute! :)
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 15:18:04 +0000 UTCThank you for posting it! It’s absolutely stunning.

2024-04-09 15:03:01 +0000 UTCwe were near totality here in austin, and we took so many pictures. it was very cloudy but we kept getting peeks. i didn’t see it in your video— to me the most amazing part was how fast it got dark and then light again! like using a dimmer switch on a light. there was even a sudden chill as the temperature dropped several degrees in the dark. were you taking the video with just the plain phone?? i was told that i couldn’t point my phone at it without the safety lens or it would ruin my camera. 😕 there was me, holding those eclipse glasses over the camera port while peering up at it! 😂 i didn’t even get video of the darkness falling because i didn’t know it was going to happen and i was too stunned to think of it in the moment. did you happen to get video of the daylight fading and then coming back?

2024-04-09 14:52:49 +0000 UTCHere in Mexico was also amazing, it was like a big event, in my city, we only saw 50% of it but even so was beautiful

2024-04-09 14:47:03 +0000 UTCit just got stormy dark over here in Michigan but it was cool to see thru the glasses and thank you for recording this for us

2024-04-09 14:18:40 +0000 UTCThe sky was so clear, it was awesome. I saw it in Baltimore, MD, USA around 3:20 pm. Very 😎

2024-04-09 14:05:54 +0000 UTCI have a short video, but didn’t want to be the only random eclipse post in General on the Discord. 😅

2024-04-09 13:50:11 +0000 UTCOwwwww thank you!!! I wanted to see and this was wonderfull! I was counting the minutes to see and then I got distracted with something and missed 😅
Lari
2024-04-09 13:45:02 +0000 UTCThat's amazing!! I'm somewhere I could have seen it but - clouds 😅🥲 Thank you for sharing!
Estelle S
2024-04-09 13:41:42 +0000 UTCYour old-ass did great!!! What a cool shot! Over where I live we only got 80% so no total darkness just a slight dim.
Kaya
2024-04-09 13:40:12 +0000 UTCThat was crazy thank you so much for posting it! We weren't anywhere near totality so it was totally un-hype worthy...like a big cloud dimmed the sun for a few minutes lol.
J
2024-04-09 13:38:53 +0000 UTCI know right? :) It wasn't bad at all!
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 13:35:34 +0000 UTCI always felt like videos capture the moment better than photos (maybe that's an obvious statement with these kind of things) so I was determined to shoot a vid instead of trying to get a good pic, and I'm glad I did! :D I heard the 2045 one will be visible in Korea so perhaps then, I'll be in Korea to view it! XD
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 13:35:19 +0000 UTCMy youngest and I took a peek through eclipse glasses before an appointment (we got there early just to have a chance to see progress), but we didn't get anywhere near totality where we are. I couldn't even begin to tell you our %, but it never even got dark enough to look like a storm was coming, much less evening at 3:40pm. The doctor had left his TV set to eclipse coverage though, so I stood at the counter and watched them ooh and ahh as it moved across the map to different groups that were set up for viewing (including a couple who took vows and another that got engaged, where they'd somehow managed to perfectly time it so the sun popped back out to sparkle the ring lol). I've lived in places where it was viewable before (not sure about totality), but I think this was actually the first time I'd actually looked. It was pretty neat. The one in 2045 (I think?) is supposed to hit closer to where we are now (who knows though, by that point) so maybe I'll be able to travel to see that one. I've seen so many cool pictures from the various discord servers I'm in, and I'd love to experience it in person. Thank you so much for sharing!

2024-04-09 13:30:51 +0000 UTCAnd hey, I'd say your "old ass phone" did very well!

2024-04-09 13:30:17 +0000 UTCWe only had a partial eclipse here in Colorado. SO cool you got to see the full one!

2024-04-09 13:29:06 +0000 UTCIt was incredible! I knew it's a big deal, but didn't expect it to be this gorgeous :)
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 13:26:12 +0000 UTCWeirdly I wanted to experience it in a cloudy setting as well! It would be a different type of beauty! :D
Handsome Sausages
2024-04-09 13:25:41 +0000 UTCSadly it was not seen in Germany 🥲 but its so Beautiful 😍

2024-04-09 13:25:40 +0000 UTCWe were on the edge of totality and it was cloudy, but still amazing. Thank you for sharing!!
