oh
forgot
Did a survey of the folks at the tiny little county road we thought was all ours in Nebraska.
Nerd factor off the charts. In almost every group there was a person who worked in science in some capacity. Germans to our left, Canadians and folks from Denmark to our right. Lots of amateur astronomers with incredible setups.
This is brings up an interesting point.
I dont know how anything with eyes like ours CAN stare at the sun. Who can do this? I suspect people with polarized glasses might be able to and then they burn and radical O2 damage their eyes. So animals with polarized glasses have probably been wandering around bumping into trees for the past couple of days.
Oh.
There are no moths left on Earth.
Was in MO. The clouds broke over the sun JUST as totality happened. Very cool that it worked out.
Real nerds cried.
Did you?
imagine seeing this back in the days where they thought mythology was real.... i would have ran inside lol
I didn't. But it was very humbling. And I mean actually humbling, not the way people who win awards use it. The anchors on the Weather Channel cried, though.
, you sort of believe it's real when you see it now. Nothing makes you feel less significant than seeing the sun stop working for a few minutes in the middle of the day.
Connecticut Yankee
Yeah, seeing this in the days before Astronomy existed surely would have had enormous religious meaning about how God blocked the sun in the middle of the day to forgive our sins or some . It would be plastered all over the Bible had the right people seen it.
Cosmored
Was the Solar Eclipse faked in a studio?
I bet if you thought about it really hard you could figure it out.
Or Google it
Would suck to be a wanderer back in the day, stumble upon a group of people, make friends with them, then have that happen the next day. They'd think you were the devil and kill you
Made me feel tiny.
I got really small.
It was humbling in a glorious way.
Yeah. And a lot of my friends here in Austin are like, "I know what you mean." They don't. When you see the eclipse on TV, part of you thinks it's just a movie or in the very least, something to observe with a level of detachment. But when you're sitting there, and the sky turns dark and the air drops 20 degrees in like a minute and the big ball in the sky that you've depended on being there for your whole life just goes away (it pretty much goes from looking normal to the naked eye to corona in seconds for those who don't know), you don't really know how fragile it all is.
Small, yes. And weak. Like there's nothing we could possibly do as a species that can match the moon just sliding by the sun for three minutes. As much as we try to think we know about the universe, we're almost all going to die having never left the planet. But those things out there are able to unthinkingly destroy everything we are just by floating in a certain direction.
I didn't cry, but I can understand why people did.
Nope. Google inconclusive.
The sun "looked" like a flippn black hole.
I was not ready for that.
I had farm fields all around me and on the horizon it was purple all the way around. I could see Venus and some other planets clearly. Then when the moon passed by and let a little light back through that light just shot out and made super crisp shadows. Donkeys and cattle started sounding off as well.
Adults turned to kids again with "why the heck does it look" questions, "what causes this" questions.
Good stuff.
I signed and dated my special glasses. Should be worth a dollar during my estate sale I imagine.
Yes it was. Just for you!
Is Tropical Storm Harvey being faked in a studio?
Nope. Google inconclusive.
Animals, like humans, could theoretically*be blinded by looking directly at the sun*duringthe solar eclipse. However, Fluffy and Pickles probably also have the common sense or instinct to not stare directly at the sun..

5 second Google.
The brightness of the sun is irritating so it takes a conscious effort to look at it.
Were you home schooled? Just curious.
You just cherry picked one article.
How about if the dog belonged to this rapper and probable SpursTalk poster and/or moderator Joey Bada$$?

It's enough for me. You go buy your dog some sunglasses tho, freak.
No need to get pouty.
You're the one that suggested Google.
