This was such a beautiful event I missed the 2017 Eclipse I was not gonna miss this one. I feel so honored to witness the Eclipse even if it was partial and not the total Eclipse I will cherish this. Great video 👍👍

[@adwilliams7615]

Historical photography!! Thank you so much P6!!!

Great job sir, amazing

[@rickyb2200]

Thank you for sharing the Eclipse with us, I couldn't see it here Heavy Clouds at the time , but I did watch it on live cam via a local TV station, it was amazing. Thanks Andrew.

[@marie-fr.desjacques9975]

Fantastic video of the eclipse Andrew. It was amazing too where I was in Montreal. Around 3:15 pm we were in the dark for about 1 minute and then the sun was surronded by some kind of white and purple halo for a couple of minutes. I watched without glassed directly in the sun. This whole experience was like science fiction to me, it was so amazing. We were lucky to have a very clear blue sky today to watch this.

[@marilynadams349]

Got to see out of Dallas Tx it was great clouds moved

You are always so gracious to others. Thank you.

Thanks P6 🐧🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂 On August 2, 2027 you have a remarkable opportunity to witness the longest total solar eclipse for the next 87 years from the notable location of Luxor, Egypt. Totalality over the Pyramids !!!

[@dustinrupert3679]

Joey just crawled out of bed, and then the eclipse hit. It confused him so much that he got undressed , crawled back into bed and called a lid for the rest of the week 😂 Great footage P6, thank you for sharing. See ya next time 👋

[@mikebeacom4883]

I got my little telescope out, slapped on the solar filter, and spent the next 10-15 minutes looking for the sun. Surprisingly difficult, without looking at the sun.

[@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888]

An good way to find the sun is to use the shadow of the telescope. When the shadow is directly behind the telescope you will be pointed in the general direction of the sun, and then it is just a matter of doing some basic sweeps of the sky until the sun comes into view.

Great pictures from today in D.C.! I was at our HS track complex watching with glasses as we got a bit more than 95% coverage. Quite a few people were there. Weird view with the dim light during the eclipse.

[@rockinrobin1007]

In Nj it wasn’t even dark. It was like a cloudy rainy day. That’s as dark as it got. And in the distance the sky was blue and can be. The clouds moved in as the eclipse started so not many saw something here. I was busy driving and food shopping. I figured I’d see great videos so I didn’t bother to get glasses. And I was right. The guy at the post office was mad cuz he couldn’t see anything. The guy at the produce place was mad too because of the clouds . I said “it was a big bust and im not surprised”. 😂

[@deskmark]

Thank you for all the work. For spending money on the best camera, lens and shield. Make Washington D. C. Great Penguin Six.

I remember back in High School the Haley Bop Comet event! Do u know anything about it or when it might happen again Penguin 🐧

[@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888]

Halley's Comet will next show up sometime in 2061. Hale-Bopp will makes it return sometime around the year 4385. In 2020 there was the Comet Neowise that made for a good show, and its next return will be in about 6,800 years. The next one up that might prove to be a good show is Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, and that is going to be sometime in Fall 2024

Great coverage again Andrew, Thank you. We watched the eclipse coverage on TV as we didn’t get to see anything in our part of the UK. Apparently on SW coast of the UK you could see a little bit at sunset but it was cloudy here most of the day.

Thank You P6

[@andrewwilks5155]

I saw the eclipse today here in NW PA and where I live was on the edge of path of totalality blocking to like 98 percent of sun. AWESOME to experience and see! These solar eclipses feel spiritual as well. The one in 2017 felt the same way to me.

[@TeresaSierpina]

Those photos look magical, beautiful. 😍

[@sharonmay99]

Excellent! But not exactly perfect, it was the buskers' fault. In my location the day started out fine, but got very cloudy as the eclipse began, so I only saw it via streaming from other locations directly in the path, and of course your excellent video.

DC was well outside the path of totality, but large swaths of the country got to see at least some partial eclipse.

[@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888]

The eclipse went fairly well here in the Intermountain West. I had good weather with my telescope setup using the appropriate solar filters, and I was able to see a partial solar eclipse in the 35 - 40 percent range. It was pretty cool to see the eclipse along with various sunspots. The best was when I used the same setup to experience the total solar eclipse in 2017, and had the benefit of the ISS being in front of the Sun while that eclipse was going on! Totality is truly a sight to behold! The experience of totality this time was watching it on T.V., and for me the totality just went by in a blink of an eye while experiencing it in person in 2017 it felt as if time just stopped.

[@heygetoffmylawn1572]

It’s a shame you missed the real thing. We experienced 100% Totality. Being at the right place at the right time. 😊🐶🇺🇸 MAGA👍

[@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888]

@@heygetoffmylawn1572 I have actually not missed the real thing as I have already experienced totality. This time I actually wanted to experience a partial solar eclipse, and to see the coverage of it in real time that I didn't get to experience the last time. As for MAGA that has nothing to do with where a total solar eclipse is viewable.

Never a dull moment in Washington 🫨 In these times, there is no such thing as a good neighborhood. Sadly 😶‍🌫️🫣 After the eclipse I was wondering what happened to the locust bugs people were saying that were coming 🤔 Watched ABC News they had great photos of the Eclipse 🫶

I live in a good neighborhood in Central PA. I think the bugs you are referring to are the two broods of cicadas which will emerge, but not until the ground temperatures are around 64 degrees.
