2024 Eclipse: What to expect, from the awe-inspiring to the "very strange"
On Monday, April 8, a rare total eclipse of the sun will be viewable across a swath of 13 states. Correspondent David Pogue talks with amateur astronomer Ed Ting about what to expect during the minutes of totality; and with Cari White, chairman of the Eclipse Oversight Committee for Jonesboro, Arkansas, where the town is expecting to temporarily double in size due to eclipse tourism traffic.

Shucks
I live in Waxahachie, TX and was scheduled to deliver for Amazon today. It was overcast cloudy and I clocked in and was told that I'd be on standby, so I was cautiously hopeful. I waited and then got let out before noon. I gunned it home to my parents with a few breaks in the clouds and set up a bluetooth speaker playing Pink Floyd, had a neighborhood friend bike over to my backyard, and after "Eclipse" finished playing at 1:34 P.M. it was just 3 more minutes until the beginning of totality. It was the most awesome thing I will ever see in my life. 4 minutes of true awe that I probably will never experience again, right over my backyard. I completely understand now why people fly around the world to experience it, it is TRULY AMAZING, and that is an understatement. 😅 The best part is the last 10 seconds looking through the glasses and seeing the light around you dim quickly until it looks like the sky before dawn or after dusk, and to see a black circle block a bright star that you can do absolutely nothing about is something I will never take for granted. After the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 rolled through Waxahachie in 2021 and now 4 minute totality, I can say without a doubt that I have seen everything (except the northern lights, Starship launch, and the Milkyway Galaxy in person at a certified dark sky location) and can die now, and I wouldn't be upset. It's like the mountains, unless you've seen it in person, you won't understand until you do, because pictures just DO NOT do it justice at all.
Was in Weezer Idaho for the 2017 eclipse with my wife in a field by ourselves. Huge crowd across the street but we had the field to ourselves. Animals went crazy and temp dropped a good 15 degrees. A TRULY UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. If you are close to a totality zone, don't miss it.

Wow. I am so ready to see this. We are not in the path of total eclipse but we are still going to sit down, enjoy it & have a beer.
In 1979 an eclipse went through Bozeman, Montana. My impresion was it got twilight but not completely. It got strangely quiet. The only sounds were the people. All the wildlife thought it was nighttime. When the Sun came back, so did the sounds. Then all the hype was gone too.
The moon passes by the sun. It becomes dark. Lasts about 5 minutes and becomes light again whoohoo😴
In 2017 I lived 30 miles from the total eclipse zone, I was in the 90% zone. I knew there was no way that the few minutes of totality would be worth the hours of traffic, the crowds, and the hours of waiting for it. I stayed home and enjoyed my 90%

Twenty-three years ago. New Yorkers got up (it was a beautiful sunny day). They went about their business. (Some went to work, school or just enjoyed a beautiful day with friends). Then the unimaginable happened. The World Trade Center was hit by a terroist attack. Thousands of people lost their lives. Days and weeks later, New Yorkers were told that the air quality was safe. Since that attack, thousands of people have; lost their lives . Due to cancer causing illnesses related to that attack. Yesterday, we experienced a Solar Eclipse. Free paper eyeglasses were given out at your local library, or on the website. We were told that it was safe to watch the Solar Eclipse; as long as we wear these paper eyeglasses. When will we ever learn. To not trust the vast majority of the media. As a result we may have exposed ourselves to permanent eye damage. Or even future blindness. Was this Solar Eclipse worth possibly having future eye damage or blindness.
