Eclipse

[vraiblonde]

Anyone else excited about this? I mean, it shouldn't be a big deal but I remember being a kid making eclipse glasses in school and the teacher would make a big production of it. So I still get excited.

Anyway, here's a lookup tool so you can see when the eclipse will start in your area, when it will peak, and how much coverage there will be.

I’m taking the kids on a trip to see it.

Went down to SC in 2017(?) for the last eclipse visible almost 100%, a kinda cloudy day and wasn't as good as one in the 60s I experienced.

No.

I saw it the last time we could see it around these parts. 6 or 7 years ago? It was pretty cool!

Eclipse pending!

The Solar eclipse is set for 4/8...Monday---with So Md getting about 85% blockage at about 3:15 pm. There are a few websites to ponder,...and some of you may be heading N or W to get more totality...

If you all don't straighten up and fly right, I'm going to take the sun away.

 

[stgislander]

I've got my Bill Nye the Science Guy eclipse glasses standing by.

 

[Hijinx]

I have a couple of the old style welding helmets I can rent out.

I am.

I had no idea eclipse travel was a thing. All I did was get viewing glasses. It never occurred to me to take off work and get a $500/night hotel room in Paducah, KY so I could see a total eclipse.

I was curious about the 2017 one so I planned a golf trip around it and stayed with relatives in SC. I know a couple that were heading to upper NY for this one but now heading to Indiana cuz its supposed to be rainy/cloudy in NY. Dragging a 5th wheel which doesn't sound like fun to me.
