When I was a kid Griffith Park was one of my most favorite sites to visit. I'm now 84 and still have a warm spot in my heart for this place. ♥

[@hothickoryhell09]

Today was my first time seeing a solar eclipse in person! When it reached 80% The shadows had some crescent shapes of light that look exactly like the sun!

[@camsgot5]

Same also I said it looked like a banana sun

[@TheSarah730]

August 2017 - I saw that partial eclipse. USPS did stamps commemorating the event

[@Floorfun]

This is proof we’re not spinning at 1,000 miles an hour this just shows the sun and moon is literally gliding above us smh

[@vargasfamily282]

How does magnetic pull shape the universe?

[@774471jr]

It doesn’t.

[@freeradt]

Good question! I know that Jupiter has such a magnetic pull, it keeps meteors and other planetary debris from coming down on earth! So our planet earth is not as big as it may seem. I think it’s possible that it’s gravity pull (if the distance between it and the sun) is just so, guess who wins!!?? Jupiter!

[@VoidPh0enix]

I missed it since I was sick ...
I'll be 46 for the next solar eclipse :l ...
