    It was too cloudy to see it here, and it feels extra insulting to know we had less sun than the UK

        Try unplugging it, counting to 60 and then using it to strain some pasta.

        Probably forgot to renew their solar tier subscription.

    They tried that at the meetup at our local planetary observatory.
    Didn’t work for some reason, though.

    But they also had the more serious stuff lined up, so got some great views!

    I managed to do the same by making a small gap between my fingers. Then went back to looking at it with eclipse glasses.

    Thank you for sharing!

    I have a wonderful memory of making viewing boxes with friends for a previous eclipse. This made me think of that.

      I travelled to Spain to see the total eclipse and it was cloudy. My next door neighbour in UK had a better view

    How do we know this isn’t just a really cool looking colander?

    You can see something similar standing under a tree with a nice canopy. Looks pretty.
