"It looked like a monster swallowed the sun!" - my 11 year old nephew on the phone.

What an experience. What an #EclipseDay!

Mom Friend 64 @momfriend64.northsky.social · Apr 8

I'm an educated person, living in the year 2024, where NASA can predict eclipses 3000 years into the future. I have known this was coming for years.

Even so, looking at it I felt this primal tug telling me what I was seeing with my own eyes was obviously impossible

what is magic, if not that?

We didn't get totality, but 98.7% in Ann Arbor, Michigan was SO COOL THROUGH THE ECLIPSE GLASSES.

Also, the cool little curved-and-blurred shadow shapes!

AND, the way the light seemed dusty and the air suddenly cooled... everyone clapped when we reached our max at 3:13! #EclipseDay #TotalEclipse

#EclipseDay is a brilliant occasion to break out the fine dishware

An OMSI mug from the 2017 eclipse in Salem, Oregon. It says 10:18 am, the time of the totality at that location. It’s a color change mug that shows the progression of the eclipse when full of hot liquids and a totality in the center that’s always present.

Happy #EclipseDay! Amazing to think that today is a day we can watch a phenomenon that's been seen by millions of humans across all the ages. Here's a slice of medieval stories: www.medievalists.net/2024/04/medi.... #MedievalSky #Astronomy

How medieval people described solar eclipses - Medievalists.net

Solar eclipses are one of our most remarkable episodes of natural phenomena. This was true as well in the Middle Ages, which are told in ten accounts from around the medieval world.

Just to clarify things: Pooh, as in the beloved cartoon cherished by young and old alike—not the pungent, unwanted visitor that lingers around and ruins the indoor air quality. Let us make sure we are all on the exact same page.

Happy #EclipseDay, fellow earthlings! Enjoy!
