Solar Ecipse August 21 2017... ready?

I posted something about this on the Tennessee board since there are areas there that will have a 100% solar ecilpse but after looking at the charts and maps, Mississippi ain't gonna be so bad either.

Here's the path:


Mississippi is in the 85-90 percent range so it will still be interesting in the state.

I've already ordered and recieved some NASA approved solar-viewing glasses. If you plan on looking, study and order now so you can see it without blinding yourself.

Also, a member in TN gave this website: https://eclipsemega.movie/. Use that to see how much of your area will see of the solar eclpise plus the times and what to expect. And PLEASE do not look at the sun without approved glasses! I want you to be able to see the next stupid thing I post!

This is a rare, fun event and I hope everyone enjoys it safely.
Oh this is exciting!! Thanks for posting love!!

What time of day will it happen in TN?
I think the peak time is around 1:30 central.
I didn't post the right link. Use this link, put in your location and it will show you how much of the eclipse you will see, the darkness and how long it will last in your area.

I'm in the 90% area so it could be funny for the ones that are too stupid to read the news and not know what's going on.

Oh my, you just reminded me of one of my favorite Mark Twain books - "A Yankee in King Arthur's Court." A time traveler saves his own ass by knowing that a solar eclipse is about to happen.

You just gave me an idea... I'll be out doing things when it happens and hopefully I run into someone that doesn't know it about and tell them that it's asteroid heading for Earth.

I am a bit of a space geek so this will be cool. I cant even remember the last time I witnessed a full eclipse of the sun

Still planing the road trip. I have narrowed it down to these two areas to see the TSE. PM me about which would be your choice to visit.

Eta to both needs to be 11 am at the latest.
