you need the nasa approved glasses. >> i can't believe this. i can't believe i get to see it. >> it's getting dark on the top. >> out of this world experience that nasa aim research center has hundreds enjoyed the view. >> like this is amazing. it's like a tiny bit of the sun is being scooped out by the moon. >> not only inspiring for kids and adults, the solar eclipse was a time for scientist to research. >> some of the science [indiscernible] and why the corona, another part of the atmosphere above the atmosphere is hot. >> the corona is too hard to see when the sun is at its brightest. >> it's great for that because the moon covers the sun for us. >> nasa used research aircraft, high altitude balloons and telescopes to learn from this unique event. on the ground, some used solar glasses and others like 10-year-old cyrus finding other ways

like using reverse binoculars and a construction board. >> hold it at the right angle and you can see the sun -- >> so cool. for some people, these glasses are pretty hard to come by, but don't get rid of them. hold onto them because there will be another solar eclipse coming to the u.s. in quite some time. it's going to be in april of 2024 going from texas to maine. from -- >> in the south bay, the san jose astronomical association made viewing the eclipse an event at hogie park. and that's where we find kit dough. >>reporter: it was a late start. when the eclipse first started it was overcast and cloud cover at the moment, so anybody with those special fancy glasses was out of luck for the moment. however, that helped out our cameras quite a bit. the camera cut down the cloud so we can get a shot of the moon taking a bite of the sun. by 9:30 a.m. the clouds

burned off and the awes and o -- it drew 700 people and a half dozen telescopes with special filters and cameras to give everyone an up close view. >> it's amazing. >> it was one of those phenomenons that you -- it lets you see it, you wouldn't believe it. >> it's awesome and incredible. the clouds have cleared away and the sun is extremely bright. it kind of looks like a packman, but way cooler. >> and so we saw some pretty ingenerous methods. this is a view of welding mask stacked together. coming up, the astronomical service is working on footage -- they're going to give that to us later today. i got a preview and it looks pretty darn cool. we'll have that at 5:00

been popular, but actually someone on your team, their favorite thing they saw was binoculars so you put the binoculars backwards toward the sun and the way it cast the shadow, it makes the viewing a little larger than a colander. >> in oakleaf, we had a temperature at 66 degrees come at 10:00 in the morning when it was time to view the eclipse. at 10:30, the temperature dropped a good 10 degrees and you could really feel it. it felt like a san francisco morning here at the delta with it turning a little on the dimmer side, and a lot of breeze and a lot of cooler air. so that was remarkable to feel out here in oakleaf. michelle and kennedy. >> kenny, or roberta, it was great because kenny and i went on the roof earlier and we were able to see it as the clouds moved. we were using our glasses and we had to look for a while until it came into view,
