I just went out and looked at the solar ellipse and it looks like a circle, not an ellipse. Just how much flattening is a solar ellipse supposed to have?

ECLIPSE, as in the moon moving in front of the Sun, or partially in front of the Sun, depending on your particular location on Earth and eclipsing, or partially eclipsing, it. ie, blocking out the Sun totally or partially, depending on one's location on Earth, thus their viewing angle.

Where are you? Here in LA you can see a nibble taken out of the sun (at 9:05). Supposed to be (our) totality (70%) at 10:15 or so. It’s fun to watch.
