Did you experience totality?

I saw the 2017 eclipse and found it was way better than I expected.

yea - I was in the path of totality. Just another “experience” I checked off the ole “bucket list”.

People really got emotional about it though. People were screaming, crying. Almost a mass hysteria event.

And that's despite our scientific understanding of the phenomenon, really explains why people who lacked that understanding viewed eclipses as a bad omen.
