I feel like I'm going to freak out if I see this.
Never seen anything like this in my life. I feel like it will remind me how
we're all on a microscopic level compared to everything else out there.

glad this is over today...sick of hearing about it

[boblobster]

Where I was it was like 96% totality, that was the biggest lie I’ve ever heard. It got about as dark as when a cloud covers the sun

[pinkfreud]

It was pretty awesome. Glad I got to see it with my elderly mom.

Ohh i feel this in 1995 from india watch as a kid at that time my father was good at engineering soo created a local projector with lens which was visible to see the eclipse 😢 which will not be available again no footage available very mesmerising...

I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. Joel 2:30-31

[danelhernandez]

[crystalrusmisel]

I sat through it here in North Carolina just to see a half sun lol

[Simply_Bryce]

I was in Houston and wanted to see 100 percent totality but I only saw 90 percent😭😭

[RemoteEditz]

We’re attacking the fire nation with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[Sam]

Is that Harold’s dad from Harold & Kumar rofl?😂

[BrianTBooher]

Whoever drew that line of the path for this video should be fired. They were way off and never bothered to take into account of the curvature of the path. The path does not show it going over Indianapolis which is where Tom Costello watched the eclipse.

How many times did the “news shows” say “the path of totality” 🙄

[MysticalWest]

That explains where there was no moon on the other side of the world 😢😢😢 poor me who is living in Australia couldn’t see the moon 😢😢😢😢😢
