[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow OP, I've seen some jaded, spoiled people in my life, but not being impressed by an eclipse of the sun?  I bet you are a handful...[/quote]

I'm not the OP, but I wasn't impressed either, because there was nothing to see [/quote]

There was a rare opportunity to see a SOLAR ECLIPSE.

I totally agree with pp #1 above.[/quote]

Yes, but from what I saw in NOVA, you wouldn't even know a solar eclipse was happening. If I saw anything resembling an eclipse I would have been impressed. I just experienced a cloudy day. [/quote]

In order to see the eclipse you needed to make use of those special glasses that you've been hearing about for weeks and actually look at the sun.  The moon passed in front of it.  You experienced more than just a "cloudy day," whether it impressed you or not.[/quote]

Forget it. There are just a miserable people on here. Absolutely no wonder at all. You could look through the glasses. You could do a pinhole projection. There are lots of fun ways to experience it. And while it may have been totally bright because our sun is such an amazing star, viewing it through the glasses is a completely different experience

And there are also small environmental changes at the time.

But there was rain and thunder in the part of NOVA I was in, so I couldn't tell if those small environmental changes were due to the eclipse or an oncoming storm. If I didn't know there was an eclipse I would not have thought anything unusual was happening at all. Yes, after all the hype I found it disappointing. [/quote]
