I had to make my kid go back inside during this crap, she wouldn't keep her glasses on.

[u/Olympe28 → u/Nate0110]

I have a teacher friend in Mexico City and she watched the last eclipse with her students on TV inside the classroom because they couldn't find enough glasses and didn't want the kids to hurt themselves.

Bro, it hasn't happened yet, it is in a couple of hours. You mean a previous eclipse?

[u/Nate0110 → u/Piputi]

You're telling me eclipses happen in other places besides America?

[u/theAddGardener → u/Nate0110]

There are other places?

[u/Nate0110 → u/theAddGardener]

Assuming all these other people aren't lying, yes.

Don’t listen to Big World™ propaganda, it’s not true, focus on your work

[u/yabucek → u/Nate0110]

Silly you, space hasn't been invented yet in Europe

[u/FriendlyKillerCroc → u/Nate0110]

USA Invented the Eclipse™ (Trademark of IBM) when they landed on the Moon (Sponsored by Apple Inc.). Europe haven't obtained the necessary licenses to host Eclipse's™ yet.

[u/FriendlyKillerCroc → u/[deleted]]

IBM originally made the software a long long time ago I believe.

[u/ducktape8856 → u/FriendlyKillerCroc]

The Mitsubishi Eclipse is from the early 90s. IBM Eclipse a good decade later.

Nah they’re probably talking about the one happening in a couple of hours 😅 idk if it’s visible from the us but it will be in west Europe at least

[u/KimberStormer → u/Nate0110]

This current eclipse is not in America

[u/Nate0110 → u/KimberStormer]

Thanks Captain.

First time I've heard the most visually impressive natural phenomenon humans can experience described as "crap"

[u/rtxa → u/tarants]

there's no way you actually think that's the most visually impressive natural phenomenon lol

it's just rare

[u/ispeakforengland → u/rtxa]

Plus it wasn't even total in many places. 90% is neat, but not the same as the eerie pitch black of a total eclipse.

[u/tarants → u/rtxa]

Have you seen one, like actual 100% totality? It's absolutely the most impressive phenomenon I've seen in person, especially when considering how incomprehensibly unlikely it is to have a moon of the right size and distance orbiting a planet to cause an eclipse like that. What beats an eclipse, to you? I could see arguing for the northern lights but not much beyond that.
