The first total solar eclipse since 1918 has finally arrived in the US!
This is a short, but memorable event for the many people who live in the path of the eclipse. I thought I'd make a thread for people to post pictures or simply discuss the topic.
Edit:
People told me to mention safety. Please note that you are still capable of having permanent eye damage if you look directly at the sun without proper equipment. 20 seconds is all that's needed to have problems for the rest of your life.
Buy proper eclipse glasses - don't cheap out. Test them out by looking at household appliances and your phone. You should not be able to see either one if you don't have cheap glasses.
