Total Solar Eclipse - April 8th, 2024

[Otsego Mar]

Figured I'd start a thread for this, since Cleveland and much of NE Ohio is in the path of totality.

Do you have any plans for this event which will not happen again until the year 2444? Did you happen to catch the 2017 eclipse in another city?

Caught the 2017 one out here in Oregon... Not to be missed.

Risk of cloud cover is real but the event is extremely rare. Hope for sunshine.

I will be in the sequoia national forest on vacation so won't see a full eclipse but more than I would have seen from Britain

How come whenever an eclipse comes around it is stated that this will not happen again for many many years. Yet each year, I'm seeing eclipses.

What am I missing?

It's a path of totality thing.. Eclipses happen regularly, but the rarity comes from where the totality can be seen. Complete totality wont be observable in Cleveland again until 2444.

No specific plans other than "go outside, put my eclipse glasses on, and look up".

I was here in northeast Ohio for the 2017 eclipse (which was just a partial eclipse here). Back in 1994, we had an annular eclipse (when the moon's position is such that it cannot cover the entire sun, so you get a ring of sun around the moon) -- that was really cool.

I'm doing the same. I'm in North East Texas, also in the path of totality. I know Delta is offering a few flights (Dallas, Austin) during the eclipse for $700-1000....a bit too pricey for me, but it would be interesting to view it for an hour+ from 30k feet

NE Ohio. bought glasses and will probably take my 5 year old out of preK and go to a park near our house. She has taken a liking of space which makes this cool to share with.

Hate eclipses. They make me sick.

The brazen impudence of the Moon having airs above its station is indeed troubling.

I may just wait for the 2444 one.

LeBron will still be playing.
