Get out and be a part of it.

That's not what it is going to look like.
This is not at total eclipse of the sun anywhere on earth. Anyone who stares directly at the sun without a solar filter even at the time of maximum eclipse risks permanently damaging his vision.

Look at it through a welding shield smoked glass.

Just make a little viewing box, fun project and you can see the whole event.

I’ll use my welding helmut, but I’ll also try some digital pics. Local news story has every outlet in town sold out of welding goggles.

Wear eye protection if you watch this.

I remember watching my first annular eclipse at about age 9. I remember worrying...what if it just stops, and it stays like this forever when the sun disappeared.

San Jose here and it’s real dark at 620 PM.
To: Yosemitest
It's definitely darker outside, just south of Sack a Tomatoes. We look through a silver CD. It filters out enough to see the eclipse.
But why am I seeing spots?...

Ring of Fire over NM right now. Cool.

In August of 2017 there will be a total eclipse for the United States running from the Pacific NW to the Atlantic SE.

Yes indeed. All of us neighbors ended up together looking. Did it
The old fashioned way poke a hole in paper look at reflected on another. The wonder of God’s power on full display. Here in southern Arizona.

Observed it from Albuquerque. Simple projection on a white piece of cardboard behind a building free of obstructions. The onset was fast but the actual occlusion seemed slow. The annular ring was perfect. At one point all shadowed edges became knife edge centers of diffraction giving peculiar outlines to objects, perhaps inspiring ancient cultures and iconography.

Western Kansas. Folks were turning on their headlights 30 minutes before the sun went down.

Used a piece of exposed 35mm film to see it from here.

Took the kids out and tried to have some fun getting pics of the eclipse. We only had a small one here in SW Missouri
This is from Wheat Ridge, Colorado with my iPhone.
Couldn't get the actual eclipse, but I was able to capture the lens effect to the right of the glare.
