Saw this one in person in Texas right in the center. Unless you see this in person there are no words to describe what it is like. What I saw today was the most beautiful & incredible thing I have EVER witnessed. If you haven't seen one of these total solar eclipses, you need to do it in your lifetime. It had a profound impact on me, & I can't quite explain how.

At totality I've heard multiple professional sources that say the corona view is safe w/o glasses. If you don't take them off at totality, you see zero

[@jennifer9528]

It's only during the few moments of totality (when the moon is directly and completely in front of the sun) that you can look at it with your bare eyes. The rest of the time, while the moon is moving in and out of position, when it's only partially blocking the sun, you need special glasses. If you don't understand that, you really need to go back to school.

Can hurt the eyes.

[@davidjon13]

Nice attempt at writing, NumbNitz😂😂😂

[@jsmithson9076]

I am going to guess the baby’s eyes were protected by a visor, or umbrella, or something similar before and after totality. During the few minutes of totality it is safe to look at the sun. Any other part of the few hours before and after it is extremely dangerous and can and will damage your eyes or blind you. A glance or two is mostly harmless.

Ask where the moon was during this long eclipse. It wasn't anywhere near the sun for most of the time.

In August 2017 the eclipse went through a large area of Wyoming, however, the roads were so congested and motels were packed so full that if you didn't live right where it went through, you couldn't enjoy it. I was only about 50 miles from it but, the roads were nothing but a line of vehicles through the whole State. You could see it somewhat in Cheyenne but, that wasn't in the path of totality! There were businesses that thrived and made a lot of money in the 2 days before and after it though! I'll never get the chance to see one since the next solar eclipse isn't for 20 years! 😂😢😊

It wasn't supposed to be the Rapture but God's magnificent creativity that He chose to share with the world in hopes of awakening the world before He pronounces judgment. Take a moment to read the book of Jonah and see just how close Nineveh was to being destroyed until Jonah preached the Gospel causing that City to be spared God's destruction. He always gives warnings to His elect before destruction comes. Read revelation as well.
