Eclipse
Anyone else in the path of totality? I've seen quite a few partial eclipses but this was our first total. It was spectacular. We were able to see Venus and Jupiter, but unfortunately the comet was too faint.

Re: Eclipse
We were close to the area of totality. It was interesting how dim the light got and the chill in the air.

I am in DFW, so we were in the middle of the line of totality. Here are some photos I took today.

I had 22 kids outside with eclipse glasses, It was fun to see how excited the young ones got.

Re: Eclipse
Great photos!!! From where we were (southern part of Indianapolis) we could only see one solar flare. You got quite the show from DFW!

Re: Eclipse
Not just the young ones. My sister is mid-50's and I thought we might have to sedate her, especially when she realized the two "stars" she could see were actually Venus and Jupiter.

Re: Eclipse
We didn't see much of anything...
Then I had the great idea that I would stare directly at the eclipse while at work so I could collect Workers Comp...
