2024 solar eclipse

[BigJCy]

Next one in the Contiguous US.....Aug. 23, 2044.

I'll probably be dead by then.

The NASA feed on YouTube is great. As soon as the totality ends in one location, they cut immediately to the next location/setup for its countdown.

I'll probably be dead by then.

Me too.

And that one will only touch 3 states in the US, the Dakotas, and Montana.

We lucked out so much. The clouds parted for the first 30-seconds of totality.

The only problem was I saw something quite unfortunate after totality.

Nothing beats totality. Was in KC in 2017 and it was pretty awesome. 90.3% coverage in KC today and not even close to the same.

yeah it's kind wild how bright it is with only 13% sun. But very neat to see.

Definitely more interesting in Des Moines than last time. I might regret not making an effort to see the entire thing.

More interesting, to me, was being in Iceland over the summer solstice last year and not having it get dark at all.

Western Iceland and parts of Greenland will be in the path of a total eclipse in 2026, fyi (also northern Spain and a whole lot of water).

The birds are chirping like it's sunset.

all the frogs too!!

Only three states, though - Montana and the Dakotas.

There‘s one in 2045 that will span the entire country, from California through Kansas and out to the East Coast.

Pictures from my backyard. In the Detroit metro we were about 99.9% of totality. It was actually darker than what the pictures show.

This one just a year later in 2045 will be a big one and probably the next realistic chance for most people. Just 21 years away. Seems we were pretty spoiled with 2 of them crossing the U.S. just 7 years apart.

Turtle doves still going, lol

thats cool. All of Florida will be dark for some time. wild.

 

[Rabbuk]

Too cloudy in charlotte.

 

[madguy30]

Watched some on TV and saw a few people out in parks and such taking it in.

Gotta say, it was a weird sort of heartwarming to see people take a few moments to enjoy one thing together.

Didn't see that on my 2024 Card.

 

[KidSilverhair]

A guy in Stowe, Vermont, just proposed to his girlfriend at the exact moment of the “diamond ring“ effect at the end of totality, on CNN. Luckily she said yes.

My senior in high school daughter's only response, "Why does it take so long????"

Took them all west of Lincoln in 2017 for the last total. couldn't pass it up with it being so close. I-80 was nuts though. It was cool, got totally dark, the birds got quiet, and the stars came out. Sorry, no one cried or had a life changing experience.

 

[isufbcurt]

It was cool to watch for 5 minutes but I'm over it now

 

[Gonzo]

thats cool. All of Florida will be dark for some time. wild.

Can we cut it loose while no one there is able to see?

Denver/Colorado will be a nuts for this one.
Path of totality goes just south of Denver, right over Colorado Springs, Aspen, Vail, Grand Junction

Probably no difference, but might be cool to see it at that altitude
