This will be something for the little people older teenagers and younger adults a day that they will never forget my first solar eclipse was in 1973 when I was 13 years old . The Halo was beautiful❤

Saw it in TX right in the heart of totality. I about lost my mind over it. Unless you experience one of these you will not understand the feeling of what it's like to see this in person. The most incredible thing I've EVER seen. Caught it on camera.

It was amazing here in DC partial one

[@StarFox6.4]

Today was epic ❤

[@BBQFanNo1]

I liked this Total Solar Eclipse so much crossing over Niagara Falls I want to travel to where the next Total Solar Eclipse is crossing over on Planet Earth. It was actually much darker outside during totality than I thought it would look like. Think about it most Humans in who lived in North America even if they live to 100 years old never see a Total Solar Eclipse their entire lifetime.. The last time before today a Total Solar Eclipse path crossed over Niagara Falls and Buffalo was on January 25, 1925.

[@loriparks8657]

Your area over Niagara Falls and Buffalo especially right over into Canada you guys most definitely got the ultimate View of the ending of the solar eclipse quite sure that the Halo increased more around the eclipse it was in Indianapolis .

so when you have an object pass infront of another object you see the edges of the object in front SPECIALLY spheres.... where was the moon ? there was no object infront of the sun it just looks like the sun gets dark

[@InfernoPhoenix123]

The moon was definitely right there it just is pitch black dark bc it doesn't have the sun reflecting off of it now

[@yavical]

@InfernoPhoenix123 that's not how light works on spheres.. if you shine a light behind a ball you will see scattering on the edges almost like an event horizon. So before the total eclipse we should have seen the light scattered on the other side of the moon. But it just looks like something covered the sun bc nothing passed infront of it or else we would have seen the highlight of the moon make a sphere. Super weird!

[@SarahB1863]

@@yavical how do you see light scattered on the OTHER side of an object you're looking at?

[@yavical]

@@SarahB1863 you don't see the light on the other side.. the "edges" would be lighter in shade than the middle because the background is lit and not a flat surface.. spheres scatter light bc of the angles the light hits it on. It creates depth.
