Who's watching the eclipse?

I'm a huge space nerd, so I'm really excited for the eclipse that's coming later today. Unfortunately Toronto is only getting 76% maximum coverage, but it's still one hell of an event.

Is anyone getting full coverage? Who else is planning on watching?

90% ish coverage where I am. As I will be working during, not planning on watching tbh.

Boo, take 10 minutes to go and watch Tongue

The next one isn't until 2024.

Got 95% coverage and I'm incredibly excited for it. My school's astronomy class had a trip to go see it with full visibility but unfortunately due to scheduling I couldn't take the class. Still gonna be great!

Everyone in our school was given glasses to watch the eclipse. So I am going to be watching it.

I'll be watching it most likely. Just got a pair of glasses.

Well, the weather says it's going to be a cloud cover all day where I am and I don't exactly feel like driving an hour just to see five minutes of this, so I doubt that I'll bother.

EDIT: Turns out the cloud cover was actually really good, it dimmed enough light that it wasn't blinding to look up at for a bit but I still got a really good view of the whole bit.

EDIT 2: Here's a video

I'll watch online, Google will be live on Facebook within 20 minutes

Just tbh, could you put those pics in a spoiler, as it makes the page VERY long how it is right now. Just a suggestion.

I wasnt in the direct line of it, but if you didnt know that it was an eclipse, then you just would have thought it was cloudy. It was still pretty cool though!

I saw basically nothing from where I'm at...

I did see live streams from other places, but sadly I can't see it from here.
