I was 11 years old when the last total solar eclipse occured over Canada. Every window of my Southern Ontario public school was prepared for safely viewing the eclipse, and every child was given viewing glasses. I vaguely recall being told that we were quite fortunate because the next time this "once in a lifetime" would occur over Canada was 2024, a lifetime away, far into the future of my fellow grade school children's lives. It's hard to believe that it's less than half a month away.

Total or partial? Carbondale, IL and the immediate surrounding area is the only place where both total eclipses occur. Carbondale had clouds in 2017. If there is even .001% of the sun still showing(the diamond), your eyes constantly adjust to the dimming and not the same experience. Track the weather and go to totality. It's a big commitment for this eclipse. Your cell phone will probably not work so have paper maps ready and have patience with the traffic.

I'd add 2 things to what this video mentions. If you view it from an elevated position, you actually might see the moon's shadow traveling across the land at thousands of miles per hour. Also, look out for evening birds that will suddenly fill the skies in search of mosquitos and other insects that normally appear at dusk. The dramatic temperature drop is also quite eerie.

I have witnessed a total solar eclipse once. I am from Denmark, so if I wanted to experience it here in my country, I would have to wait until year 2142. Ain´t gonna happen. But in 2019, I had a rare chance to experience one. * It was in July (the month where we have our summer holiday) * It was passing through the Atacama Desert (A place in Chile, where you can be sure not to have clouds) * It was a total solar eclipse. Not an annullar one. And so, I was able to travel, prepare myself, and experience it. The probability of a total solar eclipse happening in one of my holidays while going through a deserted area is so small. I was lucky!

@ChadPrestonOfficialThree Месяц назад

Every kind of eclipse - the path it follows and percentage of totality - REPEATS every 18 years, 11 days. This fact has been known for thousands of years. Stop trying to make it seem like everything is SO special. Eclipses happen on a predictable sequence known as the SAROS CYCLE. The Firmament above our world is designed like a massive clock and the movement of the lights within it happen according to design.

It truly was an amazing sight and slowly it began to come back to daylight and the world just kept on doing it's regular thing!

Awesome, I have seen one full eclipse and one partial (just outside the path of totality).

Hey Canadians, Mary Pickford was born on April 8, 1892. Join me in wishing her a happy 132nd birthday during the eclipse! ...she also died just prior to the eclipse that crossed Canada in 1979.

I saw a total eclipse in Oregon on August 21, 2017 along with millions of people mostly from British Columbia, Washington and California. There is no comparison between a partial eclipse and a total eclipse. I would also fly to Mexico if I had the opportunity.

I'm not counting on clear skies either when I'm in Ohio to see it. However I think it will still be interesting to see the entire sky suddenly go dark as night for a couple minutes, even if it is cloudy.

@keithbell9348 Месяц назад

I have experienced 2 total solar eclipses in my lifetime By virtue of where I was at the time they happened. Once when I was a little kid, at a park but I was paying too much attention to my new toy and wasn't interested in what was going on up in the sky. 2nd when I was in my mid 30's living in an entirely different State. (The following year I witnessed a parital eclipse) Today here in California I witnessed a partial eclipse. And in 2045, California will be in the direct path of another total solar eclipse. I will be in my 80's by then. If I am alive that will be my 3rd.

@benjaminslayton4335 7 дней назад

It was mind-blowing to see the eclipse in April! I was in a field in southern Illinois, and I was right in the middle of the path of totality. It was a clear, bright day. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

And I had just moved here a few months ago from another state (i went to college here but didn;t think I would return). never in a million years would I have guess that I would have rented a 3 floor apartment with a private rooftop deck almost directly in the dead center of the path of totality. it's a small town 35k. and the whole town was going crazy over this. it was the most magical thing i think i've ever experienced as a human being. absolute FATE

@alicenelson2611 Месяц назад

Here's the thing. Leave your camera. Sit quietly and let the sky suck you into a world youve never seen and likely won't again. What the videos and photos cannot portray is how immense is the size of this phenomenon. It takes up the sky and you are now a particle floating in disbelief watching the cosmos. I was in Oregon in 2017 and honestly rather reluctant to drive in traffic to the place of totality but my daughter forced me and I owe her. It rocked me and the experience changed me. I'd give anything to see this next one but I'm now too old and frail. Take heed that partial totality will not give you the breadth, depth, scope. IF YOU CAN, go to the place where you have an unobstructed view. I promise, you will never regret it nor will you forget.
