  1. I lived along the coast of Georgia in 1970 and saw the total eclipse that lasted over 3 minutes. No eclipse glasses, so we watched it using the pin hole technique until it was full eclipse then had a brief time to look directly. I was 9 years old and even at that age I felt the strangeness and see why people used to attribute mystical portents to the event. I live in VA now so not in the total eclipse zone but I will get an 85% eclipse – assuming the sky is clear.

  2. Indigenous people across the globe treat eclipses as spiritual events. In America it is experienced with greed, massive travel with short tempers, millions leaving behind garbage, and trampling natural areas.

  3. Hope everything and everyone be okay. I uploaded my anxiety video because I'm in NYC and we had earthquake and now this I'm low key paranoid and alone so venting a bit. With Love hope all be okay❤

  4. Although eclipses happen regularly, the path of totality is so extremely limited that very few people have ever seen a total solar eclipse. If you stood in one place and waited to see one, you could wait for 300 years or more.

  5. If looking at the eclipse directly will cause eye damage, then why aren't there any records of massive damage in history? In ancient times, whole populations would look and yet no mention of eye damage.
