we got to see a partial through breaks in the cloudsAnyone else in the parh of the totality? We are minutes from peak in upstate N.Y. .. completely clouded over ... darkening sky but no darkness or view.MEH.
[from the atlantic to the pacific,gee the traffic was terrific]I drove about 200 miles to see it, watching the clouds all the way. It was totally overcast off and on, so I was worried, but when I got to the centerline of the eclipse in Illinois there were nothing but high thin wisps that didn't interfere with the show at all. This was my second, and it was spectacular. I guess people arrived 1, 2, 3, or 4 more hours in advance so, while there was definitely traffic all the way from Nashville to Marion, IL, everyone left at the same time, and I have never seen anything like it. It was pretty much bumper-to-bumper from north of Metropolis, IL to Nashville. It took forever to get home. Worth the trip anyway!

according to some researchers and scientists that is precisely the type of planet we should search for(in the "goldilocks" zone of course,) makes one a little more sure of a planned event,eh?[ the beginning of wisdom- wisdom beckons.,]The odds of the moon being 400X smaller than the Sun and 400X nearer, boggles my mind.
I can only conclude we are a video game with the total eclipse expansion pack.
Should've known he was behind it.
lovelyDid a few quick clean-ups. Canon 7D-II w/100-400 @400. Took awhile because we couldn't figure out why Corona pics were poor compared to 2017; finally clicked - thin upper atmosphere cloud layer.
