Janus said:All right, a second chance! My first was in February of '79, when the center point of the eclipse was just a few miles from my home. Unfortunately, It was overcast( a good bet for Oregon in February).
August should be a better chance for clear skies. I'll have to drive a few miles South, but who cares?

Ivan Seeking said:I remember that one! We had clear skies, but we were 500 miles South of you at the time.

It will be my second total eclipse, I saw one in Houston when I was a child.Borek said:LOL, Evo will be able to see it from her backyard. Well, almost from her backyard, she lives about 15 miles south from the border of the total eclipse visibility.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sun's light and casting a shadow on the Earth. This causes the sky to become dark and allows us to see the sun's corona, or outer atmosphere.
This total solar eclipse is significant because it will be visible across the entire continental United States, which hasn't happened since 1918. It will also be the first total solar eclipse to be visible from coast to coast in the US in over 99 years.
The total solar eclipse will be visible in a path that stretches from Oregon to South Carolina, passing through states such as Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Tennessee. Some areas outside of this path will still be able to see a partial eclipse.
The total solar eclipse will last for approximately 2 minutes and 40 seconds in the areas where it is visible. However, the entire event, including the partial eclipse, will last for several hours.
No, it is not safe to look directly at the total solar eclipse without proper eye protection. The sun's rays can cause permanent damage to your eyes. It is important to use special eclipse glasses or other certified solar viewers to safely view the eclipse.
