Total Solar Eclipse April 8 2024

[Foggy]

Will you be in the path of the Total Solar Eclipse in the United States?

________________________________________________

The April 8, 2024 eclipse will be a total solar eclipse. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon moves between the Earth and Sun completely obscuring the Sun.

All of the United States will experience a partial solar eclipse.
An eclipse path sweeps across central Mexico,
parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky,
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont,
New Hampshire, Maine and southern Canada.

During totality,
you may view the Sun without proper eye protection, such as solar glasses.
But during all other phases of the eclipse,
you should only look at the Sun when your eyes are protected.

Yes, and you need to make sure it's totality. And we all make sure we have our ISO compliant eye protection at partially blocked times.

The birds will roost and the squirrels will go where they go, then a short time later their little minds will wonder wow, feels like I just went to sleep.

The eclipse path will really hit central Indiana here.

I hadn’t heard that one. Apparently I’ve led a sheltered life of just listening to American Pie over and over

[Dead2009]

80% chance of seeing it in Maryland. But I'll probably be at work when it happens so I'll miss out.

Where I live (50 miles East of Columbus, Ohio) we will have 98%-99% coverage. Approximate time from 3:09 to 3:13 PM EDT duration.

They are even closing schools in our area, so people can travel with their kids, to see the "Totality" Solar Eclipse.

With our luck it will be cloudy or raining that day!

[MrCleveland]

Of course I'll see it live! I even got an extra day off of Easter Vacation!

[icecream]

I know the eclipse can damage human eyes, which is why I will be closing my curtains completely the night before to keep out any outside light. Can cat eyes be damaged as well? My parents' house has a few windows and doors with partial or no coverings their cats like looking out. They obviously won't wear the eye protection that is available for humans.

I'm not making this up. I was driving in NYC the other day when I saw an overhead sign on a highway:

Solar Eclipse on April 8. Use mass transit.

[Dude111]

Yes I have seen signs saying EXPECT DELAYS

I do believe it!!!

In Columbus, Ohio they are putting up
construction digital signs on some highways
with the message:

"April 8
SOLAR ECLIPSE

NO PARKING
ON HIGHWAY"



I bet there will still be people PARKED ON THE SHOULDERS!!!

Those into it all, it's WILD, and the more highly specialized high test gadgets, the better for them....It's NUTS and so money driven too.
