Earlier today, a total solar eclipse crossed over Mexico, the United States, and parts of Canada in a spectacular show.
I was able to see the partial eclipse from where I was and over 80% coverage of the Sun! Even though it wasn’t the total eclipse, I could still see it getting dimmer and hearing the confused birds. I watched the eclipse through my eclipse viewing glasses (safety first!) and also by optically projecting an image of the Sun with my telescope. It was a truly amazing experience.
