Watching it go total, the sun disappeared from my glasses, and the peripheral view outside the glasses got noticeably darker. There were a couple stars out, but it was more like dusk than a deep black. The best part is taking off the dark glasses and seeing the corona glowing; it's certainly a "Wow" moment. The best pictures I've seen don't do it justice.
I remember doing that in school years ago too; I hope schools made good use of that teaching opportunity. -------------------- Lifetime Member
