It's Venus. The photos posted by other folks here show it too. Except during an eclipse like yesterday, it's not visible during the daytime since the sun is a lot brighter.

On clear days Venus is clearly seen in the east a little above the horizon about a half hour before sunrise. That's why it's called the morning star, and then with Christendom became associated with Our Lady, the stella matutina.
Oh cool. Thanks, Soubirous.  I see it is in the picture QVD posted as well.

My mother took this picture at 3:07, which in Louisville was our peak time totality (98.9 Percent).  I am guessing that this is some type of optical illusion because the object at the 5 o'clock position looks like the eclipsed sun.




This is a picture of the sun at >98% totality?  That's not what I would expect it to look like.

The corona's bright enough to flood the camera lens. Same as in the images in #157 & #163. 

The slightly darker circle of the moon is there but would need a good filter (like maybe what you posted yesterday @ #129) for the contrast to be apparent.

Well, I'm not convinced.  Why doesn't the image flood the camera lens at 50% totality?  And why does it flood the camera in the exact shape of the fully-visible sun?  And I would think the 2% area should be noticeably brighter than the rest.

Because you don't know much when it comes to physics and stuff like that, as you repeatedly prove. Your last few posts really make you out to be a conspiracy theory nut, but I'll hand you the chem trail one. That was crazy. I wonder if they did it to cause all this rain.
