My dad sent this to me this morning, we saw totality for the 2017 one and now my partner and I are in Cincinnati to head into the path tomorrow to see it

I genuinely can’t emphasize how amazing it was to see. It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.

Aw shoot I'm gonna be just out of totality, is it cool to see at like 98-99% ?

If you possibly can, try to travel to the next town over to get the 100%. That graph means what it says, totality is so unbelievably cool and completely different from anything else

The graph is accurate. Seeing the corona is a near spiritual experience. It’s the most I’ve ever been aware of floating through space, if that makes sense

You’ll get the neat shadows and stuff but miss out on the really cool nighttime part.
