Another eclipse photo, showing the solar prominences around the edge. I am told that these prominences are probably several times the diameter of the earth! Yikes. #Eclipse
Sorta thinking that we should all head outside every day at the same time the way so many did for the eclipse. Take a breath and let the world stop for a bit while the heavens continue to do their thing. #eclipse#today
Ome photos I got of yesterday's eclipse. For how little I prepped and how modest my gear was, I'm pretty happy with these. #photography#art#Eclipse#solareclipse

We got clouds instead of totality, and then I took some moody shots as the crescent shone through. And then I did a half-assed manual #timelapse (i.e., standing there and pressing the shutter release button every few seconds) of the last 30-45 minutes of the eclipse, through a cheap eclipse filter. I like how it turned out.
A 360 degree view of our surroundings during the eclipse. The middle panel shows the moment of totality, and the first and last panels show several minutes before and after, so you can see how radically the lighting changes. #Eclipse#Eclipse2024#photography
You can either reuse them for the next eclipse or wait until there’s donation programs for science outreach to developing countries so people elsewhere can enjoy eclipses (some orgs like Astronomers Without Borders are working on this)
Here in Indianapolis, we had a totality around 3pm EST. The bird chatter was deafening all afternoon around the feeders, but once totality hit, it was dead silent (not one peep) until the sun came back. And the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. #eclipse#TotalSolarEclipse#HoosierMast
Re: the #eclipse, I'm seeing so much stuff from folks in my region calling us foolish for the all the preparation that was done in anticipation of being in the path of totality, and for getting our hopes up at all. And I'm just not here for it.
It wasn't foolish. Yes, we got our hearts broken by the thick cloud cover (but y'all, 3.5 minutes of darkness was still magical even if we couldn't see the cause). But I refuse to live from a place of cynicism just to protect myself against heartbreak.
Here's what I got of the eclipse from my back yard in Lakewood, OH. We were very fortunate to only have the ligtest wispy clouds during totality. #eclipse#eclipse2024
"Few constituencies are so ostentatiously and consistently wrong, over so many generations of human history, as the doomsayers who promise that the end is nigh.
It did seem kind of nigh there for a second, though, didn’t it?"
I still can't believe how I lucked out yesterday with the eclipse. Because the traffic was so bad I ended up cutting my Interstate drive short by 30 miles, heading down a random country road, pulling off in a lovely grassy area just a ways from a highway maint motor pool & storage area where they were seriously blasting Dark Side of the Moon across the countryside. The Great Gig in the Sky was echoing across the field as totality occurred. AYFKM, what incredible luck!!! 🤯 🤯 🤯 #eclipse
