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.

Here we are approaching totality.
We are almost at totality here. You can just see a thin ring of sun. It was still sunny, but the sunlight was very weak.

24 years ago (11th August 1999), there was a total crossing Europe, from , , , , , , , , , , and then following towards ending over . This of the 2nd millennium was one of the most viewed eclipse of human history.

Do you remember it ? Where were you ? Did you manage to watch it ? How was it ?

Even if you don't get a chance to see the April 8 live in person, it's a great opportunity to learn about the dynamics of our little corner of the cosmos. We put together a non-viewer's guide to the strange and wonderful things that will happen during the , and explained the science behind them.

The moon went in front of the sun

There were some clouds, but I managed to catch a usable photo or two

So many photos from the eclipse. I don't know what to do with all of them. Here's one of my favorite single subs. This was from just before the end of totality, and the prominences were incredible

For the record, this is the same image straight out of the camera. The only processing done was to debayer it (to make it color) and crop it. My wife likes it better this way. I think it looks pretty cool, even if it's not accurate.

I kinda want to become an eclipse chaser now. Here's another photo I took during today's total solar eclipse.

Another sunny, breezy spring day in NL 💨

The Moon is also in this shot albeit invisible, in the upper-left-middle moving towards the Sun 🌞🌑

And tomorrow evening our time, the Moon will pass in front of the Sun, totally or partially blocking it if you’re lucky enough to be in North America, Iceland, or the far west of Europe 🌎

I’ve seen one total solar eclipse, on Maunakea in Hawai’i in 1991 🌋

It’s one of the most truly awesome things you’ll ever witness 🙀

A timelapse movie of clouds blowing from the southwest over our garden in the Netherlands. The sky is blue between the white clouds and the Sun is visible most of the time to the upper-left.

As the Sun slips towards the western horizon as seen from The Netherlands, it's fascinating to think that the Moon is also in this picture.

And that as seen from some points on Earth, the Moon is already partly covering the Sun, the path of totality sweeping across the Pacific towards the Mexican mainland to arrive in half an hour or so.

But our view here? Nada 🤷‍♂️

My best attempt of far too many. If only the moon could have given me another minute or two. I had almost figured out how to work my camera.

Being jealous of all y'all north Americans having an eclipse to watch today.

Best recommendation I can give: don't bother to try to photograph it. They'll be shit, and you'll be missing a spectacular event. Live the experience and marvel at professional's photos later.

It was So. Totally. Awesome. From my telescope's lens to your screen, my best view of the corona during the total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024.

April 8, 2024 marked the last total solar eclipse visible in North America for a decade. It was a unique opportunity for scientists and enthusiasts alike to observe and study the sun’s corona, as well as to experience the awe-inspiring phenomenon of day turning into night.

: From yesterday's eclipse live stream, scientist Ryan Lambert captured a special moment during totality when he removed the solar filter from his Unistellar Odyssey telescope. At the bottom of the disk, peeking out from behind the Moon is a large solar prominence. A smaller one can be seen at the 4 o'clock position. Credit: Ryan Lambert, Franck Marchis

My pastel sketch of during yesterday's . I wasn't there to see it in person this time, but I used the amazing photo shared by Tom Kerss (with permission) as a reference image. The looked so different yesterday than it did when we saw the 2017 eclipse because we were in solar minimum then and near solar maximum now. There were several lovely visible too

I love how you can see the sun flare fire flames from the sun in this corona stage of the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. There's also a version without text. @FineArtAmerica

While I was enjoying looking at this incredible phenomenon, I had a device that was continuously counting photons. Several days later, I told a computer to do some math on the photons counted, and this is the result.
