Thank,s boopme for the info, I haven,t heard anything ., Are You talking this afternoon ? I wonder what time it would be in Kansas.I went to that link, but obviously not smart enough to figure it out. Thanks Cowboy

Yes today.. i guess 2 hours earlier

Hopefully, it will stop snowing so I can see it.
Thanks,
John

Omg, I see it. That's amazing!

It's 11:44PM here, and with it being night, I don't know what i'm supposed to see? The moon seems to be darkening.

Warm regards,
Kyle

It is 2247 overhere and i get the same sight. Full eclipse will be here within 1 hour.

I bet the view is spectacular

A simple viewer to save the eyes .. as it is very powerful here


Projection Viewing


A very safe way to look at the partial phases of a total solar eclipse is to construct a basic pinhole projection. A pinhole projection is the result of light traveling through a small hole and projecting an image of itself against a light colored surface.

You can create a pinhole shield with a piece of paper or cardboard. Poke a hole in paper using a pencil point. The pinhole only needs to be a couple of millimeters across and should be as round as possible. Try not to leave jagged edges if punching the hole through cardboard or some other stiff material.

Pinhole effects can be observed during an eclipse in a variety of places. The shadow through a tree can create a myriad of pinhole images. Loosely woven hats with lots of small holes are a favorite of many eclipse-chasing veterans.

Another interesting technique is to punch several pinholes in the paper so that multiple eclipse images appear on the projected surface. Don't put the holes too close to each other as that will cause the images to overlap.

The projection technique can also be applied to a telescope or binoculars. That is, an image from the eyepiece can be projected to a surface and the sun studied in detail. Someone very knowledgeable about his or her telescope can do this for you and some small telescopes are sold with solar projection attachments. Under no circumstances should you look through the telescope unless directed so by an expert at solar observing (and make sure there is a filter attached in the proper place!).

Its beautiful!! My mums got a picture of it at half way with the camera and equipment she uses for her college photography. Its got a blue..aura is the best way to describe it, that fades of into a blurrey orange/red towards the darkened areas.....Beautiful

The eclipse is visible from here in West Tennessee. The earth has about 2/3 of the moon blocked from the sun.

Here where I live I saw it. It was a full eclipse.

I don't see it no more
but while I did it was awesome

ha haaaa i saw it CHEERS boopme

It was COOOL, I saw the full thing, the moon was completely covered! And it kinda looked red as the sun was moving over it, got a couple of photos but i'm sure they wont of been that good he he, it was a fun camera experience though cause i've only had it for a month and its my first EVER proper camera m hm!

LOVED IT, WELL CHUFT, NICE ONE!!! nn23

I dont know how "beautiful" it was but I saw it.

To me it looked like a big black blob over the moon.
