Sort of related: the map at the top of this post understates the size of the shadow. One thing I did after the eclipse was look at the GOES images which show the shadow moving over the earth. It's huge and very cool to see: Here are a few sequential images: https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/CONUS/GEOCOLOR/20232871611_GOES16-ABI-CONUS-GEOCOLOR-10000x6000.jpg https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/CONUS/GEOCOLOR/2... https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/CONUS/GEOCOLOR/20232871631_GOES16-ABI-CONUS-GEOCOLOR-10000x6000.jpg https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/CONUS/GEOCOLOR/2... https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/CONUS/GEOCOLOR/20232871656_GOES16-ABI-CONUS-GEOCOLOR-10000x6000.jpg https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/CONUS/GEOCOLOR/2... (I'm sure there is a better way)

Cool to see it like that, but I think the exposure/dynamic range of the photo makes it look darker than it really is. The path of annularity is what's shown in the map on the page. The path of the partial eclipse is much larger but not as dark. I was in Louisville, Ky which the last photo shows as black. But in reality we didn't even notice a change in brightness (it was cloudy).
