nukecad Posted February 24 ID:1619455 Share Posted February 24 We'll only get a very slight partial eclipse where I'm living in the UK, and only for 5 mins before the eclipsed bit drops below the horizon at sunset. If it isn't cloudy of course. 11 August 1999 was the last really good one that I saw here in the UK. It happened in the middle of a cloudless day and was almost but not quite total here 'up north', you had to be down in Cormwall or skip over to the continent to see totality for that one.

Promotion is in FULL GEAR here. Banks are closing for an hour, grocery stores are marketing this as a tailgate party complete with their food of course. For a 5 year event, it deserves something. How about we give thanks for our peace and freedom to observe? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This equirectangular projection is suitable for spherical displays and for spherical mapping in 3D animation software. eclipse_sos_1024p30.mp4 NASA Reference: April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse Path for Spherical Displays Edited April 3 by David H.

David H. Lipman Posted April 3 ID:1627673 Share Posted April 3 YW @NewTricks There are many in the US that are in the umbra's path and G-d willing, the weather will not block the heavenly view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
