^ we were about 30 miles from dead center but within that range overall - 99% or whatever. I saw the 2017 one as well, and it was cool, but this one was better. In 2017 I could see the moon moving across the suns path. Much quicker. This one took forever to get fully in totality, and then once there - it seemed to almost stand still for the 4 min. Not sure if I'll be alive or anywhere close for the next one in 2044.

I am assuming you saw it too - from a good location?

Yeah, right on the center of the path in IN. Super long, over 4 minutes. Weather seemed iffy but it turned out perfect. I think where I was in WY for 2017 it was 2:40, again on the center of the path. I preferred WY because it was super remote and we all just hung out in the middle of nowhere the whole day. I also was able to see the shadow racing across the land because were at elevation.
 
^ My son says he is going to Spain in 2044 to watch but I thought the path was only 3 US states. And yeah, hopefully I will make the 2045 one. :D


TBH - I have not looked at social media or news or anything since last Thursday night, so there is a lot to catch up on. We ended up going to the St. Francios Mts in southern Missouri because my wife's parents have a riverhouse there. Stayed there all weekend and didn't want to deal with traffic driving home (actually went to my cabin north of there for Monday night). My buddy lives in Illinois right across the river from Terra Haute. Almost went to his party - might have been more fun :lol: I decided not to do that because invariably I would have done some of his fresh shrooms he grew and based on the last time he did that, I was pretty ate up. So being dry and sober was worth it (not including weed) :D

What is this 2045 thing?

2044 is only 3 states, but 2045 is across the lower 48. But I'm like you, who knows what the world will be then or if I will even be around. 2026 is through Greenland, Iceland and then ending just past Spain. Iceland will get a longer totality. I would be tempted to do psychedelics but it's just so incredible on it's own I feel like I don't want to possibly dilute it.

Good catch on my mistake :D
I decided to search on the 2044 vs 2045 thing as I didn't want to look stupid :lol:
Yeah, dilution is not necessary :yes:
 
So @acceptance do you believe our moon is real or is it a shadow object of some sort?

Here is another crappy phone pic

Again, this is 2pm in the afternoon :dunno:

Oh yeah, that is the ultimate right there. A friend of a friend rented a hot air balloon. I asked, well how can you see the eclipse if there is a big balloon above you. The answer was that they didn't care about looking at the sun with special glasses, they were interested in watching the moon's shadow moving across the earth.

I am skeptical of the conventional cosmology but I'm not an expert and haven't deeply studied it. I'm willing to accept for general purposes the common view. And it seems pretty obvious that something moved in front of the sun. So fine, it's a sphere "moon." I feel on much better footing disbelieving the moon landing than I do adamantly opposing heliocentrism.
 
Heliocentrism :lol:

All good my friend. I welcome alt views. It broadens me personally. :yes:

Where did you go ? I know it was very anticlimactic from Chesterfield. My wife and her friend went down to my wife’s cousin’s land down in Cherokee Pass. It got dark as night. They saw 3 simultaneous “sunsets”. Amazing the difference a 2 hour drive makes. She said traffic was bad. It took her 3 hours to get home from Caledonia, which is normally a 45 minute drive.

If you are skeptical of the cosmology (and eclipse really isn’t cosmology anyways) why do you feel comfortable talking about eclipses we know are going to take place 20 or so years from now.
How did we know exactly what time this one was going to happen, down to the minute depending on your location?
