I think a lot of the fascination is that people are actually actively looking at something...that is being shared around the world.

That's a thought I missed. Usually I skip these things because it's usually obscured by clouds, fog or rain. We got lucky this time with clear skies. My wife told me to go look. My cats were having fun outside, I think the eclipse made them crazier than usual. Nearly tripped because they untie my shoe laces while I looked skyward. Neighbor was telling his kids to enjoy it now, because the next time he'll be an old man. Shoot, I might not be around, so I'm glad I caught this eclipse instead of regrets of missing it afterwards. Seeing it puts the insignificance of us mere humans in perspective.

I saw the it during the period that it was reddish...not so much after that.

Im hoping that NASA has a huge ‘’’aka; closeup” time lapse video available
