I drove down to Totality Country. My Twitter thread starts here:
My best attempt shot of the corona. I shouldn’t have wasted the time trying to take pictures:
You CANNOT remotely get how eerie and majestic the moon-disk and corona are from a photo. Seeing this damned unnatural but totally real thing in the sky above a Oregon valley was beyond trippy. Just amazing.
A couple of hours after totality we were launching rockets as part of an eclipse day science event. Odd to go back to this (for my) quotidian activity after such an amazing sight.
