MERGED: All this Eclipse: Do you have your solar eclipse glasses?

I was at a tenant's apt earlier today. Asked her if she was gonna watch the eclipse. She said NO she's afraid something awful will happen. Apparently, she's gonna lock her son and herself in the apartment and pray while the eclipse happens.

I didn't say anything else. Anyone here know what superstitious people are afraid might happen during the eclipse?

The unhinged lunatic far right have all kinds of stupid conspiracy theories about it. Lunatic is the right word, too, since it refers to lunar and craziness over the moon.

The US media is not helping....making the eclipse sound like some major event and telling people to stock up on food and water.
Sure, you'd like us to THINK there's no danger!

Ming the Merciless plans to use the distraction to launch his attack. We're on to him!

Eclipses? People running about? Mayhem?

Nothing new to see here, folks.

I am right in the middle of the Total Eclipse and yes, I have my glasses.
Hopefully the weather cooperates.
 
I will experience 100% Totality for 2 min and 13 sec.
The total duration of all phases of the Eclipse from beginning to end will be about 3 1/2 hours.
 
People need to be in 100% totality to experience a total solar eclipse. If you haven't experienced totality, you've experienced nothing. It's no more than an unusual midday sunset. Even 99% coverage is 100% less awesome and impressive than that final 1% that gives you totality. What you see in pictures and on TV does not come close.
 
Twice a year, a few months before the start of autumn and a few weeks after the beginning of spring, the setting sun is aligned perfectly behind the elevated train tracks outside my apartment and I get trainclipses. My apartment has a south-south west exposure so I get direct sunlight as the sun sets. Every evening during this period, when a train goes by it blocks out the sun, but light slivers in between the passing cars (and even through the train windows) creating a strobe effect of different shapes.

Even better, for a few weeks in January, the train reflects the sunrise across the sky into my kitchen, but because it's a reflection, I get a similar (albeit weaker) effect, but in reds and oranges and any other color that happens to get refracted from the sunrise.

I grew up in Norfolk, Virginia, and I was 13 years old during the Eclipse of 1970.

Let me say how truly blessed I feel to have experienced such an awesome event. The whole neighborhood was outside as the sky darkened. The air temperature dropped rapidly, followed by gusting winds and the sounds of animals sending out their evening calls.

Then, at the exact moment of totality, the stars were visible, the winds died down and all the night animals went quiet!
The sun was a black spot in the sky surrounded by a halo.

Strangest of all . . . it was nighttime above us, but because the moon's shadow is circular, on the horizon was a 360 degree sunrise! I've never seen anything more beautiful.

As the moon shadow passed, the winds picked up, the temperature started to rise, the dawn birds when crazy with songs - and I have memories of a rare experience.

My apologies, the following video contains an ad, but the subject matter is so fascinating I hope you get the same enjoyment, as I.
