If you've seen a real one, recordings do not do a solar eclipse justice.

Neither video, nor stills can capture what a total solar eclipse actually looks like. It's one of those things you have to see with your own eyes.

If you're on the path, I wish I was there with you. It really is one of the most remarkable two minutes you can ever witness.

But if you're not even remotely in the path it might be interesting nevertheless :)

Little early? We're still twelve hours away from landfall.

I don't know why people are down voting you.

Yes, the eclipse doesn't start until ~15.50 UTC. If anyone jumps on the live stream now they're going to be bored for a while.

There's a quite convenient little countdown on https://www.timeanddate.com/live/

For some reason video is not supported on Chromium (!?)
