That's why people made an effort to get to the path of totality. It gets pitch black and the stars come out, and animals get a little concerned.

I would have traveled if I could. The kids and I just went out to observe with our glasses and I explained that the sun is so powerful, even covered at more than 80%, it's practically broad daylight.

I don't think it got pitch black. I haven't seen that online. [/quote]

It gets dark as night.[/quote]

Different poster.

We were in the path of totality. The sky got very dark, dark enough to see s few stars/planets. Night time bugs started chirping and birds went wild right before and right after. They seemed confused.

Streetlights, store signs, etc all came on. It got breezy and noticeably cooler.

The sun looked just like the picture Fox had on its website. It went all black first then had a huge black center with and very narrow, almost white rim.  When the son started showingagain, it came back with a bright narrow flash on one side almost like a starburst. We put our glasses back on then.

It was definitely dark, similar to what it looks like when a very dark thunderstorm suddenly rolls in, so you could still see everyone. The sky though was dark for sure, like the very tail end of twilight.

It was very awe inspiring and worth the time going to see it.[/quote]
