Drove 3 hours to get in totality in Ohio. it was UNBELIEVABLE. One of the coolest things I have ever experienced. Pictures and video just do NOT do it justice. You could see the Coronal Mass Ejections with the naked eye as well as the stars and the corona of the sun..which looked almost completely white. Also the Diamond Ring effect at the end of the eclipse was just incredible to see.. It was SO cool to be there.

Saw this one in person in Texas right in the center. Unless you see this in person there are no words to describe what it is like. What I saw today was the most beautiful & incredible thing I have EVER witnessed. If you haven't seen one of these total solar eclipses, you need to do it in your lifetime. It had a profound impact on me, & I can't quite explain how.

A feeling you can not describe.... it is wonderous... teary eyed you watch it happening

I'm glad I got to experience it only with a few loved ones and not a huge crowd. It seemed fun but I must say, hearing crickets being confused was much more interest.

When it reached totality and I took the glasses off I lost my mind. It was like something out of a movie.

When I saw the last one 7 years ago, I had to travel 1/2 way across the country to get in the path. I was in very bad health at the time with little hope of recovery. I knew the next eclipse was 7 years ago and didn't think I would survive to see it. So I can really identify with this man exclaiming "WE DID IT!".

This was my second Total eclipse in the path of Totality and I don’t care what kind of camera, lens, filter, telescope or whatever you have it makes a great image of what you see but truly it doesn’t hold a candle to actually seeing the filaments of bright pink and purple ejecting from the sun with the corona shining like a black holes event horizon. The best way I can describe it is like a black hole 🕳️ blocking out the sun in the middle of the day with electricity shooting around the edges. This truly was an amazing experience and it was so much better then 2017! See you in 2044!

That spikey red corona was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen. I can’t get it out of my mind.

I had no idea just how emotional this would be. It was like a religious experience, sort of. I love the way it brought everyone together. Gotta always capture these moments on camera.

Awe they put interstellar music in the background! I posted some reels of the solar eclipse and it was amazing!! I live in Erie Pa and that was amazing! I also added the interstellar music too

Imagine in the past you had no idea these existed and suddenly it was happening and you began running around screaming and panicking 😂

[sarahenright]

Love hearing the excitement! Didn’t get as extreme in RI, so this is cool to see.

That one presenter proclaiming on a microphone "WE DID IT!!" really sums up most people. Nature and reality doing its thing, we're lucky to be alive at all, and we look up at a total eclipse and say WE did it. Pouring a drink, of course we have to consume a beverage, we have to add all these things to the experience. People are so far up their own ass its incredible.

Thank y’all for posting this! I’ll give the banking system a rest for that❤

What an amazing experience. I saw it in Texas. Then a week later found out my best friend had died on Apr 8. I took a very good picture of the totality and dedicated it to her. Stephanie Abrams reactions to these last two eclipses are awesome. She gets it, the beauty and awe that nature has seen fit to give us in these rare moments.

[nataliamont]

i am so jealous of everyone who got to see it :((

[brycem]

Words can’t give Justice to how cool it is. I witnessed both totality eclipse’s one in 2017 and the one in 2024!

[StevenWx]

Even Stephanie yelled out of her lungs out, this shows the how rare, majestic and beautiful this is as the solar eclipse enters the totality.

I Saw the Total Solar Eclipse in Greenwood Indiana. It was AMAZING
