Do we have to save Cheerleaders and protect the world from a dude named Sylar

Other than making some damn fine Q while it dimmed....yup

It's pretty crazy how bright the sun is, even with 90% of it obscured.

2017 was the one to see... the light got super weird purple-ish and stayed that way for a long time, and the animals were acting funny

They don't make eclipses like they used to.

It was kind of funny for me as I was unloading a trailer load of ash 1x6s from the saw mill they had processed from my 3 Ash trees that we had to drop due to the emerald ash borer.

I noticed it starting to get dark and started thinking the rain was a day early, then it dawned on me, it is time for the eclipse. Ho hum, resist the temptation to look up at it. :D

The solar filter I was using on my cell phone blurred the image. Oh well. I was mildly impressed that it captured a sun spot.

We were dodging clouds the whole time in SW Arkansas, and unfortunately a big cloud bank moved in about 10 minutes from totality. Thankfully, it opened up just enough for a minute or two to get a view. Not quite as crazy insane as my experience in 2017 (completely clear, blue skies in Nebraska), but still worth the trip.

The craziest thing, by far, was that there was a super bright, red solar flare during totality - it almost looked like Mars was hanging out right at the edge of the sun.

Solar prominence, not flare, and there were a few of them.

I hate Big Eclipse! :cuss:

Caught some of the trippy eclipse shadows earlier...

He doesn’t need your woke glasses.

The Mrs. got some good photos of shadows like those. Coolest visual of the eclipse, IMO.
