let me tell you though...90% is NOTHING...its like a cloud....
and yes, unless you look thru the glasses or in our case, the welders helmet, you don't notice much...
I did make myself a contraption as well but it was not very good...
2024.
I had read somewhere that at the moment of Diamond time, the amount of light from the sun is TEN THOUSAND times the amount during totality. It’s literally like the difference between night and day! If you are young enough, and have an inclination to go, I say get ready! I’m 63 and this was probably my last chance, so I said what the hay and went!
It was TOTALLY worth it!
