The wild part isn’t the eclipse itself, it’s how rare this exact alignment geometry is. But do you think events like this should make us rethink how fragile our Sun-Earth system actually is, or are we overhyping cosmic coincidences?

Travel to the famously tourist friendly areas of Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, culminating in Yemen and the coast of Somalia.

i already had one come through my hometown, I don’t think I need to go anywhere special to see another one in my life.

The fire will finally fade and the lords will finally go without thrones!

A hundred year solar eclipse? We’re all gonna die!

6 and a half minutes should be enough time to take down the fire nation.

Aw man. I was planning on travelling to Iceland for the eclipse next year, but I wasn’t aware it was going to be so short – 1 minute and 43 seconds. That’s a huge bummer.

Will I be able to see the eclipse from the south west coast of England?

Anyone got the date? It’s behind a paywall for me.

I got two in the same spot in southern Illinois in a span of seven years. I’m good.

I saw the last one, I wasn’t impressed.

A new once and a life time solar eclipse happens ever 3 or 4 years

I was lucky enough to have the centerline of totality go right through my farm in NE Ohio on a perfectly clear day April 8, 2024. My whole family and our closest friends were all together for it. It was special. I don’t think I need to see another eclipse in my lifetime, but I didn’t expect to be emotionally moved by an astrological phenomenon either.

We drove to Indiana to be in the center of the path of totality for the last eclipse and it was totally worth it. A hush fell over the whole crowd in the park we watched from. it was like someone hit the light switch on reality.
if you have any reasonable means to be in the path of totality for this i urge you to do it. you won’t regret it and you’ll remember it for the rest of your life.

Eh, I’ll just catch the next one.

If it’s coming for 100 years it’s probably gonna be really hard to miss.

I saw the Total Solar Eclipse in Oregon in 2017 and to say it was spectacular is an understatement. Everyone must see at least one in your life, words will escape you. Aside from the mind blowing visuals there are so many other wild things that happen, like the temperature drops 7-8c immediately, the birds stop chirping, even bugs go quiet. It seems like dawn on the horizon 360 degrees around you as well. Just unreal. Cant wait for the next one I see!
