Eclipse watchers in America on April 8th.
BrianHG:
:clap: Excellent shot!
soldar:
My relative who works in a large corporation in Dallas reports they all went out to the huge parking lot to see it.
And as the eclipse was taking place the parking lot lights all turned on automatically.
Circlotron:
I wonder of anyone reported seeing a star that is slightly behind the sun, but visible because of space time curvature caused by the sun's mass / gravity.

:-DD Talk about luck. Especially if it were LED lights which illuminate instantly unlike the old HPS lights which take a good 5 to 10 minutes before they get bright enough to see.
In my neighborhood, I have 3 schools, grade and high school, all sharing a small community football / baseball park within walking distance. I'm around 3 blocks away and you could hear the screaming and cheers. It must have been packed...
