Solar Eclipse 2024
Re: Solar Eclipse 2024
23% here as well. I've seen two total in my lifetime. 1979 and 2017. In 1979 I was in college and in class at the time. That eclipse got nighttime dark. The one in 2017 dimmed a lot, stayed daylight but with the remaining light yellowish. The air also cooled off a lot.

Re: Solar Eclipse 2024
Where I am in NY it is supposed to be 98.1% of total eclipse. Should start at 2:11 and end at 4:36, with peak being at 3:25.
Nobody around the area has glasses left, so I'll be making the pinhole camera and/or hodge-podging something to get a quick look.
I'm interested to see what the animals around the house do when it gets dark. Wonder if any nocturnal ones will pop out for a bit.

The eclipse is getting all the news but because of the eclipse a comet is visible and several planets are also lined up.ditchparrot wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 1:21 pmNot me, but my girlfriend is all jacked up about all the "energy" that'll be moving and shifting across the earth today.

Okey dokey.

Re: Solar Eclipse 2024
Buster and I setup my old telescope with the backside of a picture frame. Worked okay!

Well, it didn't matter that I never got any glasses, we had cloud cover all through it.

Re: Solar Eclipse 2024
I did get a glimpse of the eclipse here in Sugar Land. It was said to be 94%. I did get a picture with my phone but it's a bit hard to see

Re: Solar Eclipse 2024
Well, if the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter is aligned with Mars, we must be headed into a new Age of Aquarius. That's my astrological sign, so I guess I'll take it.
