Anyhoo, I had no idea there was going to be another total solar eclipse passing over us in our lifetime. Can't wait to see another one since my last (near total) was back in the 50s.
Mark your calendars!
So in 2024, even the sun will have to wear a mask in the US.
The picture of the Sun’s corona is absolutely incredible
bttt
Yes! Right throught my Texas! I was heartbroken in 2017 when I couldn’t make the trip to see the total eclipse several hours away because of horrible sciatic pain. I hope to see this one, God willing.
Obviously it’s a sign, and we need to sacrifice more white people to appease the gods.
You don’t remember 2017?! That one slashed across the entire US, from West to East. And the talk was all over about the next one in 2024.
An annular eclipse will pass through Oregon, Utah, AZ, NM & Texas and down through El Paso in October of 2023
Finally, a reason to fly my Lear Jet up to to Nova Scotia.
Take Carly with you this time.
The April 8, 2024, eclipse will be on a Monday. I may have to call in sick...
There will be total eclipses visible in Spain in August 2026 and in August 2027, for those who don't feel confident that they will survive until 2044.
The path of totality goes through New Brunswick, but misses Nova Scotia.
Prayers up that fwdude’s back be in perfect condition for this eclipse!
Take Biden and Harris with you and leave them if they let you land.

I couldn’t make it to the path of totality back in 2017. And wouldn’t you know it, we were socked in with clouds (in sunny California!) that day and couldn’t even see the partial!
Of course, that could just be the liquor talking.
I was in Grand Island, Nebraska for the 2017 one, right smack dab in the middle of totality. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.
I looked up and there was a big black hole where the sun should have been.
It lasted 2 min, 38 secs as I recall..
Hopefully this will be the third one I’ve seen. The first was when I was 12 (I think - around 1961) when I saw it from Athens, ME. The crowds were all in Bar Harbor which went overcast. Then in 1979 I flew with a small group (3) to Winnepeg. The sky cleared right before first contact.
This one will also cross where I live (pretty much where the 2017 and 2024 path cross). Totality should be nearly twice as long. Looking forward to it. Still have our 2017 eclipse ‘glasses’.
