I told myself I was just going to enjoy the spectacle, but with about a minute to go I couldn't help myself and grabbed my camera to grab a few pics before totality ended. Glad I spent the first few minutes reveling in the celestial majesty, but glad I relented and grabbed some quick photos of my own. The cosmic ballet continues!

Clouds all morning with brief glimpses at C1 then cleared minutes before start of totality. Great launches, outreach, and interviews. Awesome event with great Choctaw hospitaltiy!

Outreach is a big part of the NASA Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project. We are lucky to have NASA scientist Geoff Bland as part of team to discuss AEROKATS and ROVER as part of the AREN program.
