NO, I could not find the eclipse glasses, so I preferred not to watch.

@Ineeddentures - The Italian newspapers warned everyone not to watch without the glasses because we could have damaged our retina.

I just heard it from Phil. He said it was really cool. The last time I saw one was back when I was in grade school.

Unfortunately, it didn’t reach us here in Asia and only happened in Europe. I just saw the videos on Facebook and other social media apps, and I imagine it was an amazing experience for those who got to witness that rare moment of the sun being completely blocked in the middle of the day. Even if it only lasted a few minutes, it’s still a wonder to see.

I think I did see one eclipse a long time ago in Louisiana. I did taken precautions and not look at the sun directly during the eclipse.
