My view of the 3.5 minute totality in Sherbrooke Quebec, April 8, 2024. The surprise for me and clearly 100's of astonished people around me, was the huge difference between 99% and totality. At 99% the sun is still incredibly bright and you cannot look at with the naked eye. Then in an instant it sort of flashes and goes black and you can look directly at the eclipse without a filter. It was actually much darker on the ground than the camera made it look in this photo. #eclipse#eclipse2024
