Will you be observing the Great American Solar Eclipse?

I'll be in Austin as well, but at Demysticon24 with the DeMystifySci crowd. Very much looking forward to this.

A partial one in Miami, Florida with its peak at 3:01pm Eastern Time! I have my ISO certified glasses ready!

I was on vacation in the Greece island of San Torini in August of -99, it was not planned, only pure luck that I managed to catch the total solar eclipse there at that time. It's absolutely worth to travel quite a bit to experience a total solar eclipse. The wind stopped blowing, the birds stopped singing - it never went pitch black, but instead there was a very spooky greyish light. 5/5, can recommend!

I live in New Brunswick Canada and I'm about 700M from the center line of the eclipse pathway. The funny thing is our weather in April usually SUCKS here in Canada. As an amateur astronomer I really thought that my best chances to see the darn thing without cloud cover would be to travel to either Mexico or to the USA. Well, I'm glad I'm sticking around here because it looks like we are going to be one of the places less covered by clouds on the eclipse path. So far clear skies for Rogersville New Brunswick Canada. Lets hope its stays that way. Happy Eclipse day!

2:15 *Tintin* played a similar trick to the natives in _Prisoners of the Sun_ 🌞 Thank you for the heads up and informative background 😎

Great layout of this upcoming eclipse Dr. Keating. I'll be watching from afar as I live in Ireland but I hope it's spectacular and nothing too crazy happens on the ground.

Thanks for reminding me Rosh Chodesh Nissan, Chodesh HaAviv, begins Monday eve.

I'm about an hour's drive from the center of the path of totality, but I received a heads up from others who have traveled to see eclipses. They say even in lightly populated areas such as northwest Ohio there may be huge crowds, so I should plan to arrive several hours early.

Look up what happened the last time this exact kind of eclipse happened in 1811.

Shaved.....looks much younger

He looks 23!

Interesting that the Moon is just the right size and in the specific location (distance) to allow this to occur...

Right?! That fact always blows my mind!!! It's proof we are part of something so much larger we can't imagine!

no one knows why the Sun’s corona is orders of magnitude hotter than the surface.

Exercise caution with science channels of _this_ nature. Individuals such as Keating are merely proponents of *scientism.* For them, "science" serves as a form of quasi-religion. It's important to recognize that science is beneficial primarily to those who are capable of practicing it, and its relevance is limited to specific periods. Over time, like all fields of study, science will be eclipsed (pun intended 🌒😁) by other disciplines such as sociology, human psychology, and notably, considerations of "race".

His religion is Judaism. I think you mean he has to act like a Roman when in Rome.

illuminate who first? 🤜🫲✌️ ?

t_🌎 = t_🌙🌑 (24 hours per second) = (1 lunar day/(1.034911 seconds)) is a cause of a day on a centripetal force on a string.
