It got a little dimmer out but nothing amazing. I saw the 1979 eclipse when the center crossed our town exactly. It did go completely dark here. But people didn't make such a party out of that one. The schools taught the kids how to make pinhole viewers. Now they say a kitchen colander can be used to see it casting a shadow! But there were no big gatherings to see it here in 1979. It only passed through Washington, Oregon Idaho and Montana and then moved though Canada. This time freeways have been stand still traffic and many secondary roads were also experiencing heavy traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also looked different out. Kind of like iridescent and no there was nothing else in my tea except tea . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear some goats and cows and some other animals verbally giving their concern. I wonder what affect this eclipse had on the animals? Well an excited reporter at Newberry SC stated the crickets were chirping loudly, though I don't know how they could be heard over her own excited chirping. Pretty interesting visuals being transmitted on tv! Guess we get to see it over and over, as the day progresses, from other parts of this land. No special religious prophetic happenings here, either that or we were left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant imagine Venus shining like a star if it is a planet. And still we should be able to see moon in sky as I have many times before in day time.

It was so strange and eerie, seeming to be abnormally close to us and just suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only imagine. He is light and in Him is not darkness at all. No wonder we will have to have glorified bodies to see Him as He is! Gory to God! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also prayed during the eclispe except a minute I took to look. That star is Mercury. I don't think the sky was supposed to get dark enough ti see far away stars. I saw a picture on fox where it showed the issspace station doing a transition across the small part of the sun disable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
