Don't miss it

Looking real eerie out here

Gotta love it

About to see it in the hour or so here in Orlando.

Alabama, a few minutes ago:


probably the best it'll get here.

Unlike the total eclipse we saw in 2017 - that was cool. Fireflies came out in the middle of the day. night birds started singing, and it looked like a sunset everywhere along the horizon. pretty cool stuff.

What Mudflap showed is about what we saw here in north Texas. A nice crescent sun for us. I look forward to viewing the April eclipse with my family. My kid was too young to enjoy the 2017 eclipse when it happened.

We saw the almost full annular here in N Utah . . . . through the clouds.

If Israel drops any tactical nukes in Gaza in the near future, then there’s a certain prophet from the fringes of Mormondom that ought to get some more attention…

It was kind of disappointing here as well. Definitely not a ring of fire.

We totally missed here in Nauvoo this time around. It was super heavily overcast and we didn't even notice a change in light depth or intensity here.

I was in central Utah to see it. It was weird to hear the entire town cheer as the eclipse reached its maximum.

I regretted not going somewhere to experience the totality of the 2017 eclipse so I made the effort this time. It wasn’t as dramatic but I don’t regret the effort spent.

I bet that was weird.... the whole town cheering

Ha, it was cool to look through clouds and still see it!

Isn't it strange how they don't see the signs of their impending doom. They should have bowed their heads in prayer and held a town fast. Instead, they cheer and probably have a barbecue!

I love astronomical events...but for sure they bring a sense of eariness more than joy.

A whole town cheering at the climax is wild

Eclipses aren't in and of themselves signs of doom though... They are natural events that will happen regardless of whether or not people are afraid of them or not, whether or not disaster happens to said people or not, etc.

yeah, that one in 2017 - supposed to be repeated in 2024 - was pretty wild. Wife wasn't so hot to see it, but I convinced her anyway, checked our daughter out of school, and drove 2 hours to a friend's house in the path - we were not disappointed. it was really cool to see everything go dark like it was twilight. eerie, really.

and yes, I think all celestial events are important - we might not know the reason, but we also don't know everything.

the 2017 one and the 2024 have a lot of eerie things with them -
- they will make an x across the USA.
- last time they had a total eclipse across the USA was at our country's founding
- they happen 7 years apart.

I don't know, but if you read all the bad things that are going to happen in our country and the world - most of them come in the form of a sign in the heavens (astronomical events) - burning mountains, stars falling from the skies, moon turning to blood, 1/3 sun blocked out, etc, etc, etc.

It's a good idea to keep an eye on these things.

There have been 15 total eclipse events to affect at least a portion of the continental U.S. over the past 150 years (since the year 1867). These were in 1869, 1878, 1889, 1900, 1918, 1923, 1925, 1930, 1932, 1945, 1954, 1959, 1963, 1970, and 1979. Of these, only one traversed the entire country coast-to-coast: the event of 1918.

2017 on TSMs last birthday, and the one yesterday?

Mormons will find it's interesting to note that the "x marks the spot" (where the 2017 and 2024 eclipse paths cross) is centered over Jackson county, MO:

I had intentions... Even picked up a snazzy pair of eclipse glasses from the hardware store Saturday morning. Then we proceeded to work right through....

On the plus side, we split and stacked another cord of wood.

I did put on the glasses around 1pm and caught a partial. (It was partially cool to see)

That’s Jackson County, Illinois, not Missouri.
