[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many people here saw the eclipse IRL,  in real time, per above?

I was at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt.  My wife and kids were with me and we had a few hundred other people who work here that all got together out on the mall on center to watch. We met some friends and another family whose son is in our kids class at the preschool on center. They had lunch trucks there from 11:30 until about 3:30.  We had people with some fancy telescopes and cameras with solar lenses, etc that were there.  We go there around 1:30 and stayed until about 3:00.  We had eclipse glasses which we got from the agency and my wife also made us some pinhole projector boxes this morning which the various kids enjoyed.  So we did watch the progress from just after the moon started overlapping the sun through just after totality.

OP may not have been impressed, but the several hundred people at NASA were pretty excited to have watched it including the kids.

So my family and I did watch much of the eclipse IRL, in real time.
