My eclipse experience
I'm sure you've seen more eclipse reactions than you can shake a stick at. And here's my little video from our eclipse party with the students and families of Rhea County Academy. I don't have any grand words of wisdom. It's just an amazing experience. Truly one of the greatest shows in all of God's creation. See it if you can. It's more than worth it. The next total solar eclipses will be in South America, but the US will get another eclipse in 2024. Totality will last about twice as long, and the path of totality will run from Texas to Maine. See it if you can. It's astonishing.
(And for the record, before I get corrected: I got so excited when totality hit that I conflated "chromosphere" and "corona." What you see during totality is the corona.)
