I watched some of the nasa livestream since I don’t have eyewear in a ~96% area, and it’s total overcast anyway. They basically said it’s a ~~CME (or flare?)~~ edit: “solar prominence”, and not surprising due to the sun being near the most active phase of its 11-year cycle.

Pretty cool that one made such a clear appearance. If you search for solar flare, you’ll see images of that similar arch visible in the photo. Must have been amazing to see one with the naked eye.

It just looked like a little pink dot on the edge without magnification.

Yeah, it was the cherry on top (or bottom) of observing a total solar eclipse.

There were a few telescopes set up at the Perot, but I wasn't able to view totality through them.
