maybe i just dont know what fun is, but i've never really been that into solar eclipses. i think it's cool if other people are into it, i just never really got the appeal of it personally. it might be one of those things where you either get it or you don't
Have you ever experienced a total solar eclipse? That shit is majestic, yo
i’m seeing some of the photos that are starting to come out and honestly you make a good point. it does seem like it’d be pretty cool to see in person.
The pictures do not do it justice. I have yet to see a picture that accurately captures what I saw. Seeing just the mass ejection coronas was incredible.
It was like everything else stopped existing for that brief few minutes. There were clouds in the sky but I luckily was in an area that was clear during totality. I've never seen anything like it and will certainly travel to see it again.
