I was in an area with a partial eclipse. I hadn't had a chance to get the glasses, so all I did was look out an east-facing window. (I purposely chose a window opposite where the sun would be so that I wouldn't have the temptation of looking up.) From where I was, the eclipse was a disappointment; what little it darkened outside could just as easily have been from cloud cover; even in the darkest time, I could still see shadows of trees. I've experienced far more spectacular lunar eclipses (plural) than this solar eclipse had been for me.

I imagine those in the path of totality had a different, far more compelling, experience.

Joy,
