Skywatch Friday
This was an historic week with the 2024 Solar Eclipse. We live in the mid Atlantic area of the country and experience an 85 % totality. Just like 7 years ago, hubs and I enjoyed sitting out on our porch to evaluate how much darker the area became. The problem with this year is that it was mostly cloudy in our area.
The first photo below was taken at the moment the moon began its trek across the sun.
The bottom photo was taken at 85% totality. You can see how the clouds did affect things,
But that gloomy, eerie affect is defintely seen!
Here in Florida we didn't have much of an eclipse, but it was still strange for a while, and the peepers in the pond started peeping as it got a little darker. They thought it must be dusk. It was very surreal.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool. I definitely see the difference!
ReplyDeleteEven at a cloudy 85% there are effects, like you experienced, and it must have been nice to be comfy in your yard. I definitely see a difference in light between the first and second photos.
