We got a pretty good view. The clouds parted at certain times and we were able to witness it. It was pretty cool!

Has anyone read of the discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope? Eclipses are fascinating to see, but they're well known, predictable and predicted. Arguably more entertainment than science.
 
The JWST in just the short time it's been in operation, has looked farther into space than any telescope has seen before--almost literally to the edge of the universe. Not only has it seen far, what it has seen is looking back in time--13 billion years back in time--to not long after the Big Bang. And it has seen things, like six mature galaxies that "shouldn't" have been there 13 billion years ago, yet they were, causing a lot of known science to have to be "whited out" and rewritten, except that no one knows yet what to write...like the galaxies that shouldn't be there might have come from a prior universe!
 
I'm glad for the people who could afford to travel from other parts of the world to see this. I wonder if Warren Beatty flew in to see it from his Lear Jet again (credit to Carly Simon's "You're so Vain.") Still it was really entertainment, a day off work, or a day out of school. JWST is real science every day. New science every day. And from a telescope one million miles from earth. Look here: www.jwst.nasa.gov/

@candiceemoe : nope. I was ready with the glasses and all, but the weather did not cooperate.

The cloudy sky was bad at times, but we were able to see much of the Eclipse, off and on, including the the full eclipse in our area.
