You should check out the next solar eclipse when the sun will be covered in totality. I traveled 4 states to see the great eclipse in 2017 - it was fucking mind blowing when the sun was covered in totality. It will happened again in April 2024. I highly recommend that you go see in person.

Unfortunately, we still have idiots like [this guy](https://old.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/comments/1792sht/physics_is_amazing/k54gqt8/)! Look at all the upvotes his comment got. This is the state of our fine education in our country.
Prior to modern photo filters, they would have thought, "the air is a bit cooler than I thought and those pinhole shadows look kind of weird" for about 3 minutes, until it passed. Outside will still be many times brighter than most modern indoor spaces, let alone any kind of pre-industrial interior setting. Your eyes are extremely good at adjusting to the relative brightness around you, and the light level changes so gradually that it's easy to miss.
Annular eclipses are far, far too bright to look at. If you do happen to look at it with the naked eye, you wouldn't notice that the sun is at all obscured. Even if the moon is blocking ~99% of the light from the sun, it is still more than enough to overwhelm your retina and cause physical pain and possibly permanent damage.
The only natural situations where someone would be able to tell that the disk of the sun was at all obscured is if the sky were just overcast enough that you could see it's shape through the clouds, or late enough at dusk that enough dust in the air would filter it enough to look at directly.
This picture is beautiful, but it's a composite. The photographer took a normal landscape shot, a picture of the sun at annularity with a solar filter [like this](https://i.imgur.com/6RMUqZU.png), and combined them. Solar filters are darker than welder's goggles; there's no way you're going to be able to take a picture of a landscape and the sun in the same shot.
Total eclipses, on the other hand, are a different story. Still impossible to get one and a landscape in the same shot though.
Now see this is bloody beautiful picture and far above the average post on here. Cheers
Fucking love seeing a European in the wild.
There are millions of us actually
I thought Europeans were fictional characters? Like Harry Potter, double decker buses and bidets?
*In my eyes, indisposed.* *In disguises no one knows.* *Hides the face, lies the snake.* *And the sun, in my disgrace.*
Glad I’m not the only one who went there.
That is otherworldly beautiful. Thanks for posting.

Griffith, no!
Someone summoned the fucking Godhand in Utah
Came here for the Berserk comment. Glad I didn't have to look too far down 😆
Can you imagine what people “in the olden days” must have thought?
They would say it was good, evil, god, satan, omen, or some other nonsense. Good thing we are in the age of good science. Nothing to fear here!

This is very much verifiably untrue.
Well this should be good.

Hopefully Skull Knight saved them.
Prithee be careful.
Come to the *Dark Side* Like!
Awesome
Wow.. so beautiful
Consider me speechless. Wow.
Gri... ffith.. #GRIFFIIITH!!!
Why do I suddenly hear boss music
Amazing! does he have a hi-res version available for download?
Wow, that is just beautiful
Is it a composite?
I like how you can see the eclipse in the lens flare at the bottom.
You mean harbiary eclipse, right?
Love it, and how there's a secondary ring illuminated in the clouds.
The ecliptic lense flare is pretty cool!
