Solar eclipse

Solar eclipse right now, 10:40 am.
Bad pics through the cell phone, causing 3 images. The actual image is the bottom one.
DH is getting better photos on his Nikon. I will post those soon

Saw it through the sunroof AND clouds while driving. My daughter was like, hey there’s the moon! And I looked up and said, no that’s the sun. (We were stopped.) She insisted and I looked up again and remembered there was a solar eclipse today; sure enough, the sun and the moon were becoming one!

Annular eclipse, not solar eclipse. Solar eclipse is next April. DH has already made reservations to travel to Texas to see it. I'm staying home. Bit of trivia: solar eclipses will become rarer as the moon continues to move farther away from earth. Currently it's moving away at a distance of approx. 1.49 inches per year.

We were frantically trying to find a cloudless piece of sky yesterday when the eclipse started so just pulled over at a lakeside campground and hoped for the best. I was delighted that the clouds went away for the duration of the eclipse and then came back immediately after it was over.

When the moon was 1/2 covering the sun, the birds started a cacophony and the fish started jumping like crazy, then everything stopped until the moon uncovered 1/2 the sun again.

An annular eclipse is still a solar eclipse; it’s not a total solar eclipse, but still a solar eclipse.

I was disappointed back in 2017 when I was not in Nashville for the total solar one. I’m happy to be in the path of totality for 2024. Here’s some pics taken yesterday:

Not sure if anyone posted this but be very careful. You need special glasses with which to view an eclipse. Sunglasses do not protect you. Just an fyi

I'm hoping that someone has a picture like this:

Each spot of light in the foliage produces an image of the partially eclipsed sun.

To be clear, this was not taken in the recent eclipse, but in Brisbane (Aust.) on 14/1/2012 during a partial eclipse. A similar picture, but with full rings, would be very cool...

Thank you! That's so cool. Just what I was looking for.
