The 2024 solar eclipse

Recommended Posts

I once asked my mum if she was going to watch the eclipse.

She replied with "does it not damage your eyes?"

I replied with only "if you stare at it before the moon fully covers the sun".

She replied with "ok, so where do I look?"

I almost facepalmed my head off my shoulders that day.

Lucked out this time, Southern Ontario down the Niagra peninsula towards the US border is the best place to see it.  Got some glasses, turned down a chance to work Monday afternoon,  so will definitely check it out.

Yeah it's mainly America that will see the best of it.

Only parts of UK will see a partial eclipse at best.

The weather here is expected to be poor as well. Think I read that my area would see about 5-10% if the weather's good.

Thought about pictures but they said it woukd ruin your camera,

 

Was pretty amazing here. Had been cloudy all day but the sun came out around 2.30pm, and we got a good show.  Totally ellipse at 3.18pm the temperature dropped the  wind was calm and all the birds stopped chirping and then it got dark.   glasses worked really well.

I put one eyehole from the glasses over the phone camera - no total eclipse for me though, just a partial one.

One of my German facebook friends who lives in the same city as me posted pictures of the sun today with the caption. "Feeling sad - No solar eclipse. Shit" Yea, no shit. It was only visible in North America ya doofus. 🤦‍♂️

The wife got a glimpse of them last night from our back flat window, I was busy on my laptop and missed them but hopefully I might take a picture of them tonight if the sky is clearer.
