Hundreds of people gathered in excitement on Monday to watch the solar eclipse from the Brandywine Creek State Park in Wilmington, Delaware. Some visitors had eclipse themed snacks as they watched the sun and moon cross paths with their special eclipse glasses. NBC10’s Tim Furlong has more.
It was a total solar eclipse.
But to Gritty, it was a total bummer.
The Flyers' mascot did not seem impressed Monday by the moon passing between the sun and Earth. In parts of the Delaware Valley, the weather conditions were overcast, causing visibility issues for those wanting to watch the eclipse.

Gritty was one on those people. He even did what was asked, having his safety glasses in hand.
He didn't need them, though, calling the eclipse "mid," a term the kids say when something is average or disappointing.
Sorry, Gritty. There's always next eclipse.
