Re: Where will you be on August 21?
I'm gonna be on the moon cuz I think it's a lot safer than being on the sun cuz I don't have a pair of those solar glasses.

Signifying monkey, stay up in your tree. Always lying and signifying, but you better not monkey with me.

Re: Where will you be on August 21?
The wife and I will be in St Catharines ON the 21st having lunch with one of my wife's childhood family friends. The friend owns a large farm in Saskatchewan, but will be in Ontario for a couple days. Since they haven't seen each other since kids, it's a rare opportunity. They have reconnected on Facebook. The power of social media.

Re: Where will you be on August 21?
I dunno, just can't seem to get worked up about it. Have a bad case of ennui concerning the eclipse. Now if the earth, moon, and sun were on a collision path, then .................

Re: Where will you be on August 21?
Even that far away, you'll see .77, not too shabby. It will definitely get weirdly dim around lunchtime and a farm could be fun...animals really get punked by eclipses...it's funny. Dogs get all nervous, chickens will sometimes go back in the coop, cows start ambling back to the barn but then look confused when it starts getting light again...etc.Tbeck wrote:The wife and I will be in St Catharines ON the 21st having lunch with one of my wife's childhood family friends.

Re: Where will you be on August 21?
Doing some more practicing taking pictures of the sun. This looks like the best I can do. ISO 100 - Shutter 1/200 - F/10 - FL/500
Hope it's clear out on Monday!

Re: Where will you be on August 21?
Kansas is currently shitting cloud cover right down our eclipse airspace...God how I hate them. My first act as King will be to declare war and turn the place into public parking...

Re: Where will you be on August 21?
Well the good news is the clouds are pulling out of our region here, so while taking a drive north to see totality is a wash, I should get a decent 98% here with no problem.Cuban wrote:jeffcoslacker wrote: Kansas is currently shitting cloud cover right down our eclipse airspace...God how I hate them.

Re: Where will you be on August 21?
There is no place I would rather be for this event than Nashville! Don't know if it will even be an event here in Upstate.

Re: Where will you be on August 21?
You will get enough to notice something weird happening...over the next few hours. Already got a piece missing here, and the wavelength has shifted to a much more yellowish in the last 20 mins...RoadKing wrote:There is no place I would rather be for this event than Nashville!

Re: Where will you be on August 21?
So, what are the odds of this? The moon is seemingly the exact right size and perfect distance from us that when it totally eclipses the sun the two seem to show the seemingly exact circumference! I think that is pretty wild!

Re: Where will you be on August 21?
So weird, standing outside, in seemingly full sunlight yet it is without any heat and dim....disorienting and disturbing, in a strange way...creepy...can see where people were really frightful back when they didn't know what it was. Would seem like the End of Days or something

Re: Where will you be on August 21?
I was outside hoping to see my shadow disappear and the dogs go nuts.... but nothing happened. It didn't get dim, my shadow stays the same and the dogs just looked at me like I was nuts for standing out in the hot sunlight. [space] It was just another normal Monday around here.
