Eclipse

At my location the eclipse will be partial at 58% with an expected overcast sky, so I'll notice how much dimmer the light will be and that's about all.
For the 2017 eclipse, my location was 98.5%, very nearly full with clear skies. The ambient light was eerie but pleasant to experience. I don't expect to ever see a better eclipse.

Partly cloudy here north of NYC. I hope more sky, less clouds.
My children's school district is giving every student eclipse glasses as a science thing. I ordered some on Amazon for me and my partner. Let's hope they get here on Sat. like they said.

My children's school district is giving every student eclipse glasses as a science thing. Some school districts in Ohio have cancelled school so kids can go see it. I'll be fighting the crowds in a national park. Going to get up in the wee hours of the morning to go get a good spot. This is the forecast so far for Cuyahoga Valley MON 4/8 67° /49° 46% A shower in places in the morning; otherwise, intervals of clouds and sunshine; the temperature can drop several degrees during the eclipse

The local cloud forecast spikes right at the time of the eclipse (80%). Sigh.
Our kids have the day off school... partly so they can see it, partly because traffic is expected to be snarled.

Wasn’t there an eclipse last fall? Or maybe that was a different kind, the sun was in front if the moon or the earth was behind Uranus. I remember my neighbor letting me borrow her glasses to look at it.

(Texas) is under my personal boycott Mine too. Unfortunately, I'm stuck living here a few more years. Our home in the Texas Hill Country is one of the prime locations for viewing the eclipse. Unfortunately, clouds and rain are in the Monday forecast. Dang, I hope you get clear weather after all. There have to be SOME compensations.

Spoiler alert - don't read below this line unless you want to learn The Shocking Truth!
All eclipses are NASA deep fakes.

All eclipses are NASA deep fakes. This is good to know but that means NASA has been around a lot longer than I thought. This changes everything.
