Not Atari related at all, but cool nonetheless. I am lucky to live within 5 minutes of totality and was able to hang out with some family friends for the afternoon.

Photos are nothing special just taken with my phone. Pre-totality through my "eclipse glasses lenses" and during totality without anything special.

Nice. :D

We couldn't see it in the UK I think :(

I did see it in 1999 , was pretty cool :)

Nice :)

I was lucky enough to be in the path of totality in 1999. It remains one of the coolest experiences of my life. Even though I understand how it all works, there's still something magical about those few minutes.

I think Scotland got a Partial eclipse.

Same for me, was really weird going completely dark during the daytime. All the birds which are normally chirping away went totally silent. Very eerie...

Love storms when I was a kid. Everything would just go black and totally silent.. Then be a almighty bang of thunder.. And then the heavens open with rain...

Cool 8-)

The next total eclipse for the UK isn't until 2090 but there will be a 90% one on the 12th of August 2026 with Cornwall being the best vantage point :)

Damn, I would be about 112 years old by then. I be shocked if I make it to half that age :lol: :roll:
