Dark Side Of The Sun?

[Guildedagain]

Anyone going?

 

[Opsimath]

Whew! I would in a heartbeat, if I could. I'd even already be there to avoid all that!

 

[Aristera]

I'm at my house in Chautauqua County, NY which is in the zone of totality.

 

[GAD]

I’m going. Covered in great gory detail in this thread.

 

[Guilddan]

ill see most of it from here.

 

[lungimsam]

Not going. But we’re supposed to get 91% coverage here.

I usually watch this from Bowie's pal and it eclipses pretty much everything. I must say it freaked me out in 81-82' but not much these days ! LOL

Don’t have to travel. Hudson is dead bang in the middle of the totality zone. But in NE Ohio, it’ll probably be overcast!
As the late meteorologist Dick Goddard once said, it’s not unusual in NEO to predict “partly cloudy” and wake up the next morning to 18” of partly cloudy on the ground,

Guildedagain,
The back of the sun is its dark side. It wasn't necessary to illuminate it as we never see it and besides the back side is glued to the sky, so there's no room for lights.

I was just talking to a friend about the eclipse and he asked me, "Are we going to lose power?"

Huh?

And, yes, he asked in all seriousness.

He was awesome, though I never got into NYC to see him live. I use this as my avatar on another forum.

Wait.
There are other forums?

It's in a parallel universe. Tough to get to without some fancy quantum permutations. Sometimes it's not worth the effort.

There’s an article on CNN: will your cell phone work during the eclipse?

Tell him no worries as a flat earth power grid won’t be effected by the fake circles in the sky.

Actually, almost always not worth the effort.

Fact.

in 2017 we were wintering at our place in Puerto Rico and got a perfect view of the eclipse. We got real excited about it and there was a huge crowd around the old fort where we walked to. It was really interesting for all of ten minutes, but I don't think I would drive very far to experience it again. I'm in Iowa for this one. I'll just go out in the yard and be happy with whatever I get this time around.

Depending on where you live, full eclipse will last a good long time, maybe around 2 hours, and if you depend on solar energy, well, good luck.
