This is mine! Built it quickly in 2024 for the US eclipse [1] and finished minutes before totality started. I completely forgot about it until a friend asked this morning. Coordinating a DDOS on cameras across Iceland and Spain was not on my to-do list for today. Fingers crossed it doesn't break for you all - I will be watching it with my own eyes this time.

I also released an app last minute for this, got approved 3h ago lol https://apps.apple.com/app/id6797313478

Unfortunately, camera white balance seems to diminish the effect compared to actually being there. But it's something. Now imagine that the weather got 10 deg (F) colder, the birds are chirping because they think it's bedtime and your circadian rhythm is nagging you in the back of your head: "this ain't right"

TBF it’s quite late in the evening already so in the places where this is happening none of it is as off as it is when the eclipse occurs mid-day.

I took my kids out of school and took an unplanned day off work in the middle of an important meeting series to drive 5 hours west from Virginia to Ohio to see the last eclipse. The schools and my boss were both yelling at me, both saying the eclipse wasn't a good enough excuse. I'm sorry, but it definitely was. I am so glad I did that. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

In many places in Europe that could have cost you jail time.

There is nowhere in Europe that is true. Why exactly are you posting misinformation?
