Did you see the solar eclipse? What was your experience?

Did it get completely dark or just dusk?

Where I was, it was a total eclipse. It didn't get completely pitch black dark out, but it got dark enough to look like it was dusk at 1 in the afternoon. First we saw the moon creeping into the sun, making the sun look kinda like a orange "moon"... like a gibbous, if you are familiar with astronomy. At one point it looked like what I can only describe as a pac man. Then as the moon was covering more of the sun, it stated to look like a half moon, the a crescent, until the crescent was just a long sliver and it got shorter and shorter until it disappeared. Though the glasses it was dark, but taking the glasses off was such an amazing sight. The moon was so big and bright and round, and the white sun rays surrounded it completely. I wish it could've lasted longer. It was such beautiful sight.

In my opinion, I don't think the pictures do it justice.

Oh and it got cooler and the night insects went crazy. The birds stopped chirping. After a couple mins. The sun crept back in and the night bugs stopped and the birds started chirping again. The animals were so confused! lol.
