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.
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.
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’.
These solar eclipse stories make me think about global warming hype.
In 2017 the predictions of the times and location of the eclipse were spot on. I believe 2024 will probably be just as good. These predictions that come true show a real understanding of the system.
When the global warming crowd can, for example, predict that, “On August 17th, 2021 there will be a Category IV hurricane that will make landfall near Palm Bay, Florida”, and if they can do that consistently and it consistently comes true, it will demonstrate to me a real understanding of the climate.
But they have no understanding of the global climate and can’t do anywhere close to that prediction. Just how many times are these people going to predict the earth will end in 10 years if we don’t take drastic action?
I saw the total solar eclipse of what was it, Aug 23rd 2017? I was at Salem Oregon, pretty much right in the center of the path.
It was spectacular - and weird.
The weird part was looking all around us and it looked like sunrise in every direction!
And it was weird seeing the stars during the day.
And there is an annular eclipse not sure exactly when basically going thru the exact same spot. 2023 I think.
We led a group of about 200 people at an eclipse party in South Carolina a couple years ago. Dead center of totality
A friend lives dead center in Ohio. We’ve already talked.
Looks like it’s gonna pass almost directly over my place.
I saw the 2017 eclipse on Lake Murry, SC. It was an amazing sight.
Plan now, people will have been booking hotel rooms along the centerline already.
By the way the actual interestion of the 2017 and 2024 eclipses happens just a bit west of Makanda, Ill.
Well, we are in an age of darkness.
