If you saw totality yesterday, have you tried to describe it to someone who's never seen it before? It's impossible! There's no way it can be put into words to make someone understand and photos and videos come nowhere near to portraying what it's like in person.

If you witnessed the total eclipse yesterday from a viewing site near a road, you probably saw people continuing on their merry way, headlights on, during totality. Happens every eclipse. It's sad. Who doesn't have three minutes to pull over and witness something extraordinary?

95% is nothing. 96% is nothing. 97% is nothing. 98% is nothing. 99.99999% is nothing. If you want to TRULY experience a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE, you MUST be in the PATH OF TOTALITY where the Sun is 100% blocked by the Moon. People who saw 2017 know...

Will the 2024 total eclipse be "darker" than the 2017 total eclipse? Possibly, because the path of totality is wider. Assuming you're at the center of the path in 2024, the distance to the edge, where the Sun is still shining, will be greater than it was in 2017. Thoughts?

If you claim to have seen totality through your eclipse glasses, you had unsafe glasses. Don't use them again. The reason you're supposed to remove your glasses during totality is because it's safe to look without them and real glasses are too dark to see ANYTHING through them.

If you're planning to see the 2024 total solar eclipse, remember that being close to the path of totality isn't close enough. The difference between even a 99.9 percent partial eclipse and a full total eclipse is like the difference between day and night...literally.

If the current forecasts prove true, it will be the exact opposite of what was "supposed" to happen on 4/8. The Northeast will have the clearest skies and Texas will have the cloudiest. No matter how well you plan for an eclipse, you never know what you'll actually get.

Look at a clock or watch right now.
Wait until 4 minutes pass. It's a long time, right?
That's how long the 2024 total eclipse will last during totality along the centerline in much of the country.
Of course, when it's happening, those 4 minutes will feel like 4 seconds!

Not for nothing, but the big weather forecasting websites were extremely unhelpful for this eclipse. One example: Two major sites, one says 25% cloud cover and another says 75%. And no indication of what KIND of clouds. Need to do better.
