I actually live in Texas and where I was, totality lasted about 4 min 15 sec. I have seen several eclipses in my life, but this is my first total solar eclipse. I have seen at least 4 total lunar eclipses, 2 partial, 1 penumbral, 1 partial (of a total solar), 1 partial (of an annular solar), and now 1 total solar eclipse. They really do just captivate entirely what it means to be present in the here and now.
@@Ratiomom1 I lived at an astronomical observatory for 5.5 years of my life and only one of those was while there. The total lunar eclipse of the winter solstice in 2010, the galactic center aligned with the Sun moon and earth, and a meteor shower took place. It was wild. If you have astronomy or astrology questions I am happy to answer! Space is amazing. I am a druid and married into a family of literal astrophysicists and rocket scientists so I know a lot about both fields.
Holly ! I became a fan after you teached me to crochet :) When i first saw a crochet vid You were in it I thank you very much for taking me this far , so happy you do crafts ! I love watching your crochet vids and your one of the 5 people who inspired me to crochet . Now i make things like dolphins **from your video of "how to make a magic ring in under 60 seconds"** I would have never knew how / what is crochet without you :) thank you so much, big fan ❤
It was an emotional rollercoaster man, i had my telescope and saw the solar flares during totality, that was wild. Even had a solar filter for it to see the sun and its sunspots, maybe didn't realize for the first 30s that i needed to take the solar filter off.
We got to about 90% totality in NJ. But the clouds moved in and shielded it when it was at the most coverage, i was so bummed!! i live between two major roads, and everything was so quiet during the eclipse. It was so strange! Such an amazing experience though! id love to go someplace that will be in the range of totality next time
oh wow 90%!!! i'm sorry about the clouds :( things were supposed to get quiet but i think we were so excited we were too loud in the moment to really notice LOL
I sadly had a horrible eclipse!! I live in an area where it doesn't go dark whatsoever, but we wanted to see it. My teachers would not let us go out to watch it. The school did absolutely nothing for us. We did not get to see anything 😢
Great for you and your relatives being able to watch that in person. I wish I could've been able to as well. It was just a partial eclipse where I live which is northeast Illinois. I could've traveled to central Indiana to view it in totality, but if I did I would've been stuck in the worst traffic jam of my life on the drive back. So that's why I missed out on it. At least I've seen a lunar eclipse before, but seeing a solar eclipse in person would've been much better.
OMG u commented on my comment lol I don’t just love your channel I love love LOVE your channel!!! And I love love LOVE crocheting 🧶 have a good one HollyAuna
But is it actully that interesting? Everybody got way to excited about this, like people really travelled for this? Its night time, only difference is the eye damage people get
