when it started to get dark you can feel the creepy ominous energy in the air and you can hear the crickets starts chirping, quite the experience

During the last eclipse in 2017... my dog grabbed a beer and took a swig of it.. then looked over and me and said..."Ya know, nobody is ever going to believe you." ... and then we both laughed.

In large crowds, one misses out on the eerie silence.

I flew all the way from Australia to see this. What a once in a lifetime experience!

[crazynick]

It would honestly annoy me a little bit to try and experience totality just to have a TV crew with their LED lights shining towards you lol.

It was so beautiful to witness! I understand why people flocked over to witness it with us.

[Gyrator]

Glad we have technology that allows us to see these rare moments.

See how great our God He is so marvellous

It sucked in Chicago was nothing more than a pain with drivers looking up and it never even got dark

[AuroraEthan]

I experienced totality just south of Luna Pier Michigan.. though it was short it was amazing
It was 74° and dropped to 55

[whatever_mma]

i hate that they had to talk to her while she was obviously trying to experience the moment

[alberteinsteinthejew]

Just bloody awesome. Imagine how confused some of the animals for 4 minutes

[evaBenz]

Did she just look up at it without her glasses..

[kaComposer]

You can see the very moment she starts to feel that weird primal energy you only feel during an eclipse

[newatlantisrepublic]

I’m further north with hardly any clouds and it was a profound experience
The energy, the temperature drop, the sudden silence and sense of community

[deepdarkcocoa]

I'm not gonna lie. It was beautiful. My husband and I prayed as it got darker and darker. We were able to view from our backyard.

[joselgerman]

Ya mfs made it feel like the world was coming to an end on my way home from work.

[j.j.guerrieri]

This was incredible, I had this feeling kind of primeval, like we are all connected to each other and to the cosmos and to earth…and I wasn’t even high

[jidion]

here in denver, we got about 70% coverage and even we could feel the temperature drop, i work out at the airport, my friend and i were discussing that
"did you feel a temp drop during the eclipse?"
"yup"
