This was my first total one and I agree. A friend told me this analogy: if watching a total eclipse is like going to the movies, a partial eclipse is like going to the cinema, seeing the movie poster outside, and going back home. 🙂

The partial solar eclipse reminded me how absolutely indescribable experiencing totality is. Was lucky enough to see it in 2017 at the most batshit disorganized music festival in the middle of Oregon. If you ever have a chance to experience an eclipse totality, don’t miss it.
