When I use "literally" I goddamn mean it.Way back in the old days, long before we invented the now ubiquitous "literally".
Isn't it ironic?
Yeah same here. Wish I could go but have to work and this time of year it's impossible to get away. I'm in Peoria IL and it would be a similar distance to drive to Indianapolis to get the full experience.No. It's a 3 hour drive , 182 miles southeast (Indianapolis, IN) from my place. Wish I could go, but will be working at 9 pm that Monday night.
2017 We were a ways away. 2021 we moved and now we are in totality. Right on the edge but still in it.I was under the one a few years ago. I'll be under this one. I stayed inside then. I'll stay inside again. No chance of moonbeams or stardust falling on my head. My tin foil (OK, metal) roof will protect me.
But if Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney wanted to stop by, I'd be OK with that.
The last lunar eclipse? I hope you're not going to wear some sort of lunar eclipse glasses for a solar eclipse...I'm right in the path and working that day. We'll probably go outside for a few minutes. I still have my glasses from the last eclipse (Lunar).
don't know why I said that. TBF the moon was involved lolThe last lunar eclipse? I hope you're not going to wear some sort of lunar eclipse glasses for a solar eclipse...
Lunar eclipse is when the Sun gets between the Earth and the Moon. Thus lunar is eclipsed. /s Cunningham's Lawdon't know why I said that. TBF the moon was involved lol
I had it in my head that this eclipse coming up is different than the one last October, which was an annular solar. The upcoming solar eclipse is total.Lunar eclipse is when the Sun gets between the Earth and the Moon. Thus lunar is eclipsed. /s Cunningham's Law
Grandpa time for your meds. The Sun does not orbit the Earth.Lunar eclipse is when the Sun gets between the Earth and the Moon. Thus lunar is eclipsed. /s Cunningham's Law
Kingston is slightly closer and much more your kind of town.I think it would be epic to see a total one, but not enough to actually go through the trouble of traveling for it. By the time you factor cost of gas, hotel etc and chancing that you actually find a suitable spot and that it's not cloudy, it's a big risk. It seems Montreal area might be the closest to me that will get totality but driving into/through a metro area is a hard pass. So I'll stick to experiencing the partial one.
That is the problem, I'm not getting my hopes up, quite the contrary. Seems like every day they are talking about a giant storm system working its way up the east coast.It will be cloudy.
The weather is always cloudy if there is an eclipse.
Uh, no, lunar eclipse is when the moon gets between the earth and the sun.Lunar eclipse is when the Sun gets between the Earth and the Moon. Thus lunar is eclipsed. /s Cunningham's Law
49% chance of rain.i'll probably go outside for a while if nobody schedules a meeting during that time. should get about 3 mins 45 seconds of totality here
If you're right on the edge you should drive a few miles to get way longer totality so you'll have enough of a buffer to look without any glasses and be able to see the corona. I'm right outside the edge of totality by about 5 miles but with just a 12 mile drive I can get a minute and a half of totality. Though I'm going to my cousin's house where he has 3 1/2 minutes.2017 We were a ways away. 2021 we moved and now we are in totality. Right on the edge but still in it.
Anton's channel is great.Not solar eclipse related, but a fascinating short video on another astronomical event that happens once in a lifetime (every 80 years), which will happen in the near future and is observable all over the northern hemisphere. The host has a rather thick accent but to my layman's ears he seems to know his stuff and conveys a lot of information quickly without a lot of fluff.
