Sixgun Seamus Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 A miracle happened. It is NE Ohio in Apiril and the sun is shining. Still a few high hazy clouds but they seem to be disappearing. Eclipse just started a few minutes ago. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 We were in the 97% zone in SW Missouri. Just a tiny fingernail sliver of the sun was still visible during maximum coverage, but it still was remarkably light outside, even from that little dab of sun. Glad those of you who got to experience totality enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Well the solar eclipse here in Florida was a "bust". I prepared my own tubular "I Spy" viewing tool. Here is the best the moon could do to cover the Sun. Edited April 8 by Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The next total solar eclipse visible from North America will be in 2033, but only over Alaska. Then in 2044, a total solar eclipse will cross Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, parts of Canada and Greenland. The next total solar eclipse to cross the continental U.S. coast-to-coast will occur in 2045. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be a total eclipse though according to this https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2024/04/08/when-is-the-next-eclipse-after-2024/73249571007/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Seamus Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 I stand corrected. The next total is in 2444 for us. The article said that unless there are great advances in science, we'll be dead by then. So keep your fingers crossed for those advances and keep those eclipse glasses handy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Ellie & I went up to Northern VT to see it! It was pretty dang neat! Traffic not so much. Took us 3 1/2 hours to get home! Normally an hour and a half. Took an hour and forty to go 7 miles, but was worth it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
