    I saw it in Dallas. The most freaking incredible thing I’ve ever seen, no exaggeration. Your whole surroundings turn to dusk, the sun disappears and is replaced by a hole in the sky, surrounded by a pink, blue and yellow ring of light, and your heart fills with awe, and a little bit of fear! Makes you feel amazed, small, and out of control. This is what the philosophers call the sublime.

    Indiana had the most perfect weather.It was really cool.
  • Full eclipse in Indiana. It was beyond words. Got goosebumps and even got teary-eyed! The cheers, carhorns, and even fireworks, the whole community was celebrating. This was a moment that I will never forget. Neither will the bats that were very confused!!
  • @theradiantchild
    This was profound. I got emotional on how beautiful this was. Once in a lifetime opportunity

    I have never witnessed in my life, a total eclipse! That must've been some experience. Out here in California, we only got a 60% coverage at most so it was still broad daylight with a little bit of an amberish ambience state wide. But to be out in the dark completely like that at noon time, wow!!! I can't imagine that.
  • Saw this from south Ontario. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing during totality and I didn’t think it would look nearly as amazing as it did
