I don't know the answer to that. I had to download pictures from my phone camera to my computer and then bring them here. It probably depends on the phone???

I will tag FlakeNoir -- she is a wizard helping people with pictures.

Well, it isn't showing for some of us. And other's see it. I think a lot has to do with operating systems and the tilt of the earth.

My mom was so excited about the eclipse - it was so cute. Everyone was out of glasses. Wish I would've had my act together and picked some up from the library before they ran out. She followed some instructions online and made pinholes in a box and when she put it on her head I told her that hopefully the aliens would show up to take her back to her people. ;;D

We were supposed to have 84% totality here, but it only got to about the size of a crescent moon. But it was upside down, though - which was pretty cool.

We purchased our glasses at the science center weeks ago. As it got closer many places ran out and some charged way to much. It was on the news some vendors
were selling fake glasses.

I'm going to disappoint, sorry... :blush: I haven't tried uploading to the site from my phone before. (I'll have to experiment)
Usually I move them from my phone to the laptop, or upload (privately) to FB and then copy and paste here, or download to my laptop if I am too lazy to look for my USB cord. :biggrin2:

it is my hubbys phone. Will have to get back to you. They loaded to my computer but can't get them to load on here. Even when copy and paste. The pictures show for me but not for anyone else.

I heard this over the weekend. Did not catch what town it happened in though.

Someone called police dispatch somewhere in Wyoming and asked how Wyoming had been picked to hold the eclipse and why we all decided to have it on a Monday, and not the weekend instead.

:facepalm_smiley:

Also saw an article that said Wyoming had a million visitors here that day. That's pretty cool. More people than live here! Some of the pictures of traffic were unbelievable. We'll likely never see that kind of traffic again!

I heard on the news that some Mensa member (insert sarcasm) that they had put sunscreen on their eyes and thought it would be okay to look at the eclipse. The individual is being treated for corneal scarring... I bet it started out with here hold my beer.
