Yeah, i hate to say it, but unless you’re in the path of totality, it’s pretty lame. Sure, the light gets weird, and you can make neat little crescents with shadows, but that’s about it
Being in totality is without a doubt, one of the most awe-inspiring things you could ever witness
Had a few people tell me how they are in the 90% path and didn’t see a reason for seeing totality.
I tried explaining it to them in terms of sex: “I was 95% close to getting laid! Sure, that was probably fun, but you should really see totality.” Realized they just didn’t think it was worth it as an experience. Their loss.
Yeah I traveled to a city for 1 min of totality because I couldn’t afford a hotel to stay the night and had out from there. Totally worth, it’s one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen. Like a ring of absolute silver. It felt like night too because the crickets came out and started chirping.

What is neat is how you experience sunset from a 360 degree perspective rather than just the normal western arc.
Had totality for 1 min 22 seconds. The entire time I was slack-jawed or going “Holy shit!” My kids were going bananas lol
