Kind of cool to see it. But a bit overhyped. Just a small distraction that keeps us “united” for a moment in time.

- cjaybo 3y agoSmall?! Actually, despite how small it looks from here on Earth, the sun is very large!
- throwup238 3y agoVery large? I’ve covered that glorified fire ball with my thumb!
- qup 3y agoOnce covered up today, it revealed its true color: pink. Hardly the raging fireball they make it out to be.
- BrianHenryIE 3y agoDid you experience totality? I saw the 2017 eclipse and found it was way better than I expected.
- xyst 3y agoyea - I was in the path of totality. Just another “experience” I checked off the ole “bucket list”. People really got emotional about it though. People were screaming, crying. Almost a mass hysteria event.
- dotnet00 3y agoAnd that's despite our scientific understanding of the phenomenon, really explains why people who lacked that understanding viewed eclipses as a bad omen.
- sophacles 3y agoYou're totally right. This was obviously just a nasa conspiracy where they sent the moon on a different trajectory for a little bit to keep us all from noticing the aliens!
- sourcecodeplz 3y agoNah, when I saw it as a kid it was amazing. It got cold & pitch dark in the middle of a summer day. Chickens went to sleep.
- pavel_lishin 3y agoI just saw it. It felt like the exact correct level of hype. Incredible, and easily worth driving six hours for. The image of the corona around the sun is seared into my memory now, and I want to see it again - I see why some people become "eclipse-chasers", and travel the world to experience this again.
- staplers 3y agoI hope you are able to find joy in this universe. Don't let others ruin your chance at a fulfilled life.
