It's also the one that Carly Simon references in the song "Your so Vain".

Well I hear you went to Saratoga
And your horse, naturally, won
Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun

That eclipse saved Hank's life too.

i just looked at it, it was cool. i dunno if welding mask counts as proper eyewear but if it doesn't everyone at my work place is ****ed for the future.

I looked right at it when I took the glasses off and was fine tbh. Maybe I'm just already blind though.

It mostly looked like any other day as in photo 1, but I got two fuzzy amateur shots with a point-and-shoot @ peak time.
Spoiler for eclipse:
