The big total eclipse is happening in just about 3 days and 14 hours, this thread is discussion of that event. Post links to eclipse info, eclipse related graphics, etc. or ask questions & answer questions about the eclipse in this thread
Sky&Telescope's coverage is particularly comprehensive, just about anything anyone might generally want to know is answered here:

There's not much to say about it. I lived in north Georgia a few years ago when we had a total solar eclipse. It was kind of interesting. I'd been through one once before as a child but my elementary school wouldn't let us go outside during it so it looked like a rainy day with no rain.
Now I'm in Ohio and bought some glasses but, meh, am not all that excited for it. I'll go out and look if it's clear enough but I doubt it's going to be any different than the last two times.
I did think it was funny when there was an eclipse that passed over the University of Alabama's football stadium during a game so the state government issued warnings to fans to not look at the sun without glasses on.

I'm in Maine and I'm excited to go see it. The last one here was July 20th, 1963, well before I was born and the next one will be 2079, I don't care enough to get on a plane and travel to see one, but I'll drive 3 hours to go see it. The sad thing is all of my friends are working that day. Would have seen it with my dad, but he died a couple of years ago. He would have loved this. So that makes me sad. Also how people are getting married to this also makes me sad because I haven't a date. Guess my road trip song is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Soa

It was very disappointing but it was an impoverished semi-rural area so the school couldn't afford a buy a bunch of smoked glass for students and they probably were concerned kids would just look up at the Sun anyway if they didn't have smoked glass (the cheap glasses you can get now weren't available back then).
It's funny that we could see the residents of the housing project next to the school looking up without any sort of protection. I wonder how many of them ended up with some sort of vision issue.

I’m probably stupid. I bought some SEIC solar eclipse glasses for my family online a few weeks ago, and now Im afraid they might be fakes. I wanted to check the website listed inside the frames, but it doesnt seem to be up anymore. I checked the AAS website and I verified that the seller listed was Qiwei Craft, but after testing them with a flashlight, they seem to let in a lot of light. At least compared to videos I’ve seen testing legit pairs vs fake ones.
TLDR; How can I confirm the quality of these glasses without burning holes through both of my corneas tomorrow?
Here’s the actual listing for anyone curious.

Why do people freak out about looking at the eclipse? Nobody freaks out this much about looking directly at the sun. Sure - you don't do it constantly but looking at the sun every once in a while isn't that harmful.

The darkness dilates your eyes, allowing in more harmful UV than normal while you can look at the Sun for much longer without immediate discomfort. Or at least that's what I've been told over the years.

Had one of my parents freak out about the eclipse on me, said it was likely to last 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months, "we just don't know". This sounds like absolute bullshit coming from an AI generated video on facebook or something, but maybe, just maybe I'm missing something this time. Is there anything special going on this time, or can I just tell them to stop being so guillible with their online content? Just looking at the thread, it looks like a standard eclipse, but I'd rather ask anyway

Only children normally have to be told not to look at the sun, so it's not something that comes up among adults at all. Just like adults don't have to tell each other not to eat grass. During eclipses, all common sense goes out the window as retards suddenly think it's okay to look at the sun just because it's partially covered and they damage their eyes. You CAN look directly at it during actual totality and I think that's what confuses the retards into thinking any amount of sun blockage makes it okay to stare at.

no where on the internet does it say you can glance at the solar eclipse once or twice during its appearance and be fine. its all, its not even worth it...its seriously that dangerous. am i just out of the loop or is this a way, way over hype?
i know your eyes react differently and that can lead to serious damage, but is the difference really that drastic? i mean a quick fucking glance, like at tits, quick, not noticable. thats fast. or is it really as serious as not even glancing at a laser, welding shit, those worlds most powerful flashlights, etc..

During totality, the sun is safe to look at because the entire sun is in shadow, but if the sun is uncovered by ANY amount, looking at it will feel exactly like looking at the sun on a normal afternoon. That's the reason for all the warnings. People think, "Oh, the sun is 90% covered so I can look at it with no problem!" but in reality staring at a 90% covered sun at 3pm will hurt your eyes just as badly as staring at a 0% covered sun at 3pm.

It is like looking into the sun.
The problem is that the UV light that burns your eyes out is still there, even at 99% Eclipse.
So you won't have the brightness that makes you look away, but will have the UV damage.

Yeah it's gonna be cloudy for most of the totality path but onthe upside I think it'll be high altitude clouds so it should still be visible. And the effects of course are visible regardless outside the the sun's visibility itself.
But still, I'm on the very edge of clouds in the north so I'm coping for clear sky.

The DON'T GLANCE AT THE SUN stuff is bullshit. The danger is that during an eclipse the Sun is INTERESTING, and people tend to stare at it, which is not good. It's sneaky as more of the Sun is covered, there is less glarea and it is more comfortable to stare at, but the uncovered bit is still bright enough to do some damage. Glancing is fine.
HOWEVER, you're going to dazzle your eyes if you are looking at the last bit of the [artial and then totality starts and your pupils are pinholes and you can;t see as much of the corona. Look at something else right before -- maybe watch for shadow bands...

right, but we dont walk around every fucking day averting our eyes from the heavens like a sun god cult. Sometimes you accidentally look directly at the sun or see it pretty clearly in peripheral vision. Quickly. i know eyes react differently, no squint reflex, and it doesn't hurt. is the hype, just for morons who think its dark i can literally stare all i want? and if you can just not be a lizard brained dick youll be fine?
does this just all boil down to remember to treat the sun exactly like normal?

One theory is typically you have a natural protection since the sunlight is too bright so you won't be able to stare at it long enough to damage your eyes. but if it is partially eclipsed, it is not as bright but presumably can still damage your vision.

Usually it's only kids you have to tell not to look at the sun. Eclipses are the one time adults lose their common sense and star directly at the sun, sometimes even through binoculars. That's why the warnings go out during eclipses and not any other time. I genuinely don't understand what about this confuses or upsets you.

I'd be surprised if no one thought of this, but I'm kinda surprised I haven't heard of it.
How fast would you need to drive to stay in the eclipse the entire time it's moving across the US?
Nearly impossible in a car I'd imagine, but how about a plane? Are there any flight paths recorded for this, maximizing time in the total eclipse that is?? Seems like that that data should be available somewhere online.

1100 to 5000 mph.
The bigger problem, in driving, is that roads don't really follow those paths.

Well, looking at the sun on eclipse day (outside of totality) is the same as looking at the sun any other time. The official recommendation has ALWAYS been to never look directly at the sun for any amount of time without specialized protection. The only thing that's different is that most of the time people don't need to be reminded of that any more than they need to be reminded not to eat grass or not to touch a hot stove; it's something you teach kids and they just stick with it for life. But like I said, some people are retards and will literally just stare up at a partial eclipse with their naked eyes or through unmodified binoculars or telescopes, which is why they have to be warned that it's like looking at the sun any other time. And again, the official line from medical authorities is that it's not safe to look directly at the sun for any amount of time at any time of year.

You'd need a fast jet to extend totality. This actually happened with the eclipse back in 1973 aboard a prototype Concorde.

There's a reason why you have rainbows on Earth. The sun actually peaks in green on the bluer side iirc, but overall in terms of visible light it is around 5570K for the surface so that does have a tiny bit of yellow tint to it if my knowledge about lightbulbs is anything to go by.

Tried to 3dfag out a low-poly sun for this and our Solar System in 1 to 1 billion scale for this. The renderer doesn't seem to shade things entirely correctly however at this scale I think looking at the shadow it casts on Earth.
Trying to do the sun in true color and make it look good is actually way harder than doing it in false color due to the limited color palette and contrast available.

dallas, TX here. No glasses. Took a few passing glances before and after. Like a 1 second sweep of the head. Looked for ~10 seconds during totality. Cloud cover was there but it was still visible for a decent amount of time. Hope my eyes aren't destroyed. Very cool

Back in the day, we'd light up a fire inside of a glass bottle and use the smoke to make the glass black and then look through it to see the eclipse. We could stack this with regular tinted bottles. My mom used that to see the eclipse in Poland back in the 1960s. There were no fancy special glasses.

Clear skies here in 98.9% Michigan. Even at just 1.1%, the Sun was still too bright to see the Moon in front of it. Though it was dark enough for street lights to come on, it's amazing how much light there still was with only that tiny sliver of the Sun shining through. The shadows were eerie since the light was coming from above but at twilight levels.

The Vedas say that the obstruction of the sun's light and the radiations present during eclipses strongly affect all life on earth.
It's recommended to stay inside, specially pregnant women.

Me too, was amazing, went from total overcast to gaps forming to get that same kind of view to half clear skies just as it happened. Increadible timing! Oddly enough, the sun was still too bright to even glance at at 95% totality in this area even though everything went dark all around. Only when some clouds passed by to partially obscure it could you see the moon covering most of it.

Best and pretty much only photo I took that actually showed it as the rest just showed the Sun way too bright even at 95% totality (as seen on left) eventhough it was evening darkness below. Only when some clouds obscured some of the sunlight was the shape of the Moon apparent. This was near Toronto where it was total overcast that started clearing with good gaps with perfect timing.

Did you cover all the sensors? If not, the difference might have confused it and it didn't know which mode to pick. Also slightly possible that the manufacturer added a check based on location and time to prevent users from taking eclipse photos.

quite a bit... Yeah I guess I've heard faint whispers of 'dont look at an eclipse' throughout my life, but I never researched into it. And so being under the totality path, I went out and watched it without protection. And now I come back inside and all the sudden this massive trove of online info is coming at me that looking even for seconds can easily perma screw you, never mind the repeated glances I took up at it over the course of 20 minutes.
Is there anything I can do RIGHT NOW as the damage is still fresh that will significantly minimize it? Everything online says once you look at it it's irreversible, there are no modern cures and all you can do is pray

Then thick fucking clouds came in for the rest of the eclipse, only to blow over after it was done. I could only catch a very rare glimpse of the sun coming out from behind the moon. Just the sliver of the corona.
If not for everything going night time for a few minutes, I wouldn't have any idea that eclipse was happening during totality.
Really disappointed.
I'll be in my 40s the next time one of these comes around in the US.

Excellent photo. My dad is a bug telescope guy but not a great cell phone photographer so his came out nothing like that. Shame, he's got a really nice 10" Schmidt cassegrain but no camera that can do it justice. What kind of hardware are you working with?

Whew, finally back. Went to middle of nowhere Indiana, smack dab in the center of totality. The locals had a barbecue down at the church, it was a cool fun time.
Best of all, sunny as can be, almost 0% cloud cover for the big moment. The forecast said mostly-to-partly cloudy the whole time until like JUST an hour before, then it was mostly sunny. The place we were in lucked out and the heavens parted for just long enough. Amen

Are there any other moon gravity tricks people can try on eclipse day, besides the standing egg?

Little bit of everything, pulled pork, ribs, people were grilling up brats and burgers and stuff too. Also this one couple brought their "town famous" chicken fricassee

Yes, I saw Venus and Jupiter pretty clearly. Jupiter would be on the opposite side of where Venus is, and further away

I was in Lima, Ohio and it was absolutely sick. Perfect day. Could clearly see Venus in the sky and a pink dot at the bottom of the eclipse, which turns out was some sort of plasma loop or something?

Yep I saw that too, a solar prominence. It was very clear throughout totality

The other planets were hidden behind tall houses for me.

was anyone able to see the comet? Jupiter and Venus were VERY bright. could actually see them during 95% totality.
