Re: Solar eclipse 2024
My wife is in the meadow with the neighbors. She’s really spooked. And, I think it’s still 40 minutes till totality there. Apparently a bit of cloud but mostly clear ..

Sky News (as viewed in UK) has dedicated the next few hours to the eclipse, a complete mix of stuff, it's a fun watch so far.

Re: Solar eclipse 2024
Wow. That got darker than I expected. Not completely black-out but all of the street lights and automatic outside lights came on and you could see the stars. I got out there right after the "total" eclipse but it was still pretty dark and, yes, some glasses magically appeared for me to use --- as it should be. :rofl:

It was absolutely amazing! Saw the corona around the sun - probably will never see such a thing in my life time again (I am old)!!!!!

Yeah, I'm hearing from people who were outside of the city (light pollution) and they said it went dark as night.
I believe it was because there were too many large fluffy white clouds in the area, reflecting sunlight into the eclipse shadow. |

Re: Solar eclipse 2024
Saw multiple eclipses on my television at home ! What was most impressive was a video from the ISS showing the moons shadow moving across the east coast, I don't think I've seen that before.
