The difference...I wouldnt walk down the street to see 99% but I would fly to the other side of the globe for totality! Don't miss it people

I got lucky and live where totality hit in Indiana. It was absolutely breathtaking. ❤
-
It's like getting 99% of the Powerball winning numbers vs. 100% of all the correct numbers😅

The real "fun" doesn't even BEGIN until around 50%, at 20% or 30% it's like "wait, there was an eclipse?", at 50% it's like a cloud in front of the sun but you can still see the sun. Which is mildly cool. Still, if you're somewhere that's 90%, 95%, 99%, and you somehow can't get to totality, what you're about to see is still going to be cool. I'm in the 95% zone, probably won't get to travel to see totality, but if not, 95% is still infinitely better than nothing.

The next total eclipse in the Philippines is on April 20, 2042. It is so terrible that I live in the 95% solar eclipse 😭 I hope I would be rich enough to travel south

If you look at the sun with solar glasses and put your thumb over almost all of it, you've basically just seen a 95-99% eclipse. What you cannot mimic is is totality where the entire sky goes black, the stars come into view, the animals stop making noise, the crickets begin chirping, the ring around the sun changes to bluish white, the temperature outside drops 10-15 degrees, and a light but cold breeze sweeps across the area while you can safely stare at the sun with your naked eye.

seeing totality by your eyes.. is so much different than any picture ive seen. Seeing the glare and glow of the sun, and mass coming off it. Its so much more vivid than what i ever saw online i didnt think much of it but it really is an amazing thing. When the next one comes i really suggest you dont miss it. Its probably the most beautiful thing ive seen so far and ive seen sprites, and tornaodos which id rank pretty close to watching the eclipse

99% gang 🥲

Where are the flat earthers?

Is it weird that I still got emotional over a 95% eclipse? Maybe I'm just easily impressed, but I actually cried being overwhelmed by the surrealness of it. But then again, 64% impressed me back in 2017. I live in Massachusetts for reference. Will I faint seeing a true total eclipse in 2045?

I went to the Air Force base in Dayton to see totality. I'm so glad I did. It was absolutely unforgettable.
-
What's crazy is my house in 1970 had a 99.99% but my school 2 miles away had totality. But I didn't exist yet.

It's going to be cloudy everywhere around in Pennsylvania. Wondering if it would be worth it to stay where I am around Pittsburgh where it'll be 97%, or to drive two hours to Erie where it'll be 100%. If both are obscured by clouds, all I'm getting is the drop in darkness.

0:47 Wow, what a difference.

Omg life changing

Perfectly balanced…. As all things should be
-
I'm going to be getting 99% better than 90 or less
-
What time should it happen here in the tri state (Cincy/Covington)? 😊
-
I was in the 99% totality, so my next chance is in 2044; hopefully retired by then!
-
I mean.. it gets dark every night, so.. just use your imagination
