The partial solar eclipse begins around 1:51 p.m. EDT. Most of our "maximum" times align around 3:08-3:10 p.m. and then a partial eclipse continues through 4:24 p.m.
The next total eclipse in the Philippines is on April 20, 2042. It is so terrible that I live in the 95% solar eclipse 😭 I hope I would be rich enough to travel south
The real "fun" doesn't even BEGIN until around 50%, at 20% or 30% it's like "wait, there was an eclipse?", at 50% it's like a cloud in front of the sun but you can still see the sun. Which is mildly cool. Still, if you're somewhere that's 90%, 95%, 99%, and you somehow can't get to totality, what you're about to see is still going to be cool. I'm in the 95% zone, probably won't get to travel to see totality, but if not, 95% is still infinitely better than nothing.
@@graveyardguild its worth it. You will never be able to look directly at the sun/moon at 99%. With 100% you can. I was at the 2017 eclipse. It was incredible. I have no plans on going on a partial eclipse after seeing it 100%. the difference is literally night and day.
If you look at the sun with solar glasses and put your thumb over almost all of it, you've basically just seen a 95-99% eclipse. What you cannot mimic is is totality where the entire sky goes black, the stars come into view, the animals stop making noise, the crickets begin chirping, the ring around the sun changes to bluish white, the temperature outside drops 10-15 degrees, and a light but cold breeze sweeps across the area while you can safely stare at the sun with your naked eye.
seeing totality by your eyes.. is so much different than any picture ive seen. Seeing the glare and glow of the sun, and mass coming off it. Its so much more vivid than what i ever saw online i didnt think much of it but it really is an amazing thing. When the next one comes i really suggest you dont miss it. Its probably the most beautiful thing ive seen so far and ive seen sprites, and tornaodos which id rank pretty close to watching the eclipse
Is it weird that I still got emotional over a 95% eclipse? Maybe I'm just easily impressed, but I actually cried being overwhelmed by the surrealness of it. But then again, 64% impressed me back in 2017. I live in Massachusetts for reference. Will I faint seeing a true total eclipse in 2045?
To experience the totality, you would have to travel up to Hamilton or Oxford. Totality should start at just past 3:08 p.m. on April 8th and should last around 3 minutes
It's going to be cloudy everywhere around in Pennsylvania. Wondering if it would be worth it to stay where I am around Pittsburgh where it'll be 97%, or to drive two hours to Erie where it'll be 100%. If both are obscured by clouds, all I'm getting is the drop in darkness.
It's partly sunny here in Altoona but overcast in Erie. But the sun pokes out sometimes. It's almost an exact reenactment of the 2017 partial eclipse day.
It depends on how many people are willing to get up and travel internationally to see others. The next one in the US is in 2045, which is a whole generation away.
@@starmanxvi Straight up! I'll get to see it as a Gen Z-er, but like, it's the first coast to coast one in over 20 years! And it'll be going through South Florida. I am excited because I'll be in school for this coming one on the 8th.
@@SUGAR_XYLER No, it's considered once in a lifetime because on average, in the northern hemisphere, a particular location only sees an eclipse around every 350 years. Most people won't travel to other places, but these happen on average every 18 months around the world. There is another in Europe in 2026 and 2027 (also Africa etc.) and many others, but not in the lower 48 until 2044 (Montana) and 2045 the rest of the country. I believe there is one in Alaska in 2033 over the North Slope.
