The Solar Eclipse in America was a wonderfull thing to look at. You can see it at Nasa in a live stream.

During totality you see the corona and the red protuberances. It is dark and cool and you feel the wind. At the end of totality you see a dimond ring. And the Moon wanders and fee give the sun free.
