I've been checking it out periodically. Cool part is, right now I can see it through the skylight in my kitchen.

Went down to get a pair of skis mounted and happened to see it. Didn't even know it was going on tonight.

I've been watching it all night. I'm in the country with absolutely no lights around. It went from a bright moonlit night with lots of stars, to an eery moonlit night with billions and billions of stars

My daughter is drawing picturesof it changing every 10 minutes. Saturn and the star Regulus are next to it. I think Regulus is at 12 o'clock and Saturn is at 8. Please correct me if I got them mixed up!Wish I had a telescope!

my neighborhood doesn't have any street lights, so it's VERY dark at night time, with the exception of porch/patio lights n stuff. so i'm gettin a pretty good view of it

We were gonna have a really good view. We even planned to go to one of the local observatories, but then we got clouds, and rain, and thunder.

My high school earth space science teacher texted me (our families vacationed together for years) I totally forgot about the eclipse. I drove to teh boys house and showed him. Looked out the sunroof every couple of minutes to see it as I was driving there. It was very cool!
