It was not total dark, but it looked like 30 minutes after sundown.

Then, within a minute after totality, it was daylight again though only a sliver of sun shone

Awesome experience.

I remembered seeing one in college. Turns out I saw a full eclipse on my 21st birthday…

Where I live is 99% and it's still bright and sunny, but people assume 99% is close enough, how different can 1% make? Only totality will actually give you the experience of the dusk and sunset.

There was girls travel hoops tournament in Lebanon, IN where my daughter played. She played early (9 AM) and there were police running the lights at the I65 exit at Whitestown as traffic was already a mess at 10:30 when we stopped for food before leaving the area.

We already had reservations in Carmel as we thought we would be playing in Westfield, but rather than be overrun with just sports teams, there was a also a large contingent of eclipse viewers as early as Saturday night.

If this holds up I'm seriously considering driving 3 hours from Hendersonville, TN to Cairo - maybe at the confluence. There's about 3 minutes of totality there. That town is mostly deserted so it might be a slightly less crowded place to watch. If the bridge is backed up Barlow or Wickliffe are backup locations.

2045 there will be one with a very similar path to 2017, with a 6 minute and 6 second totality maximum over the bahamas.

Of course, it's quite strange that the sun and moon subtend almost the identical angle in the sky. The moon is slowly moving away from the earth. How long until it will no longer fully block the sun?

Going to Yellowstone this summer and I would like a telephoto lens for wildlife.

When comparing shots from my iPhone 11 Pro and old Sony A100 DSLR (with standard kit Minolta glass)* on a Yellowstone trip last fall, there was no comparison on how much better the iPhone pics were for general photos and scenery. The only thing was that shots of the grizzly and some other wildlife we saw were just specks on the iPhone, while on my Sony telephoto pics you could at least tell what the animal was.

Now that I have upgraded to a 15 Pro, my phone pics may improve, but still don't have zoom capabilities.

*It's also been forever since I shot my DSLR camera, so everything was on automatic mode. I didn't even attempt manually adjusting parameters.

Southwest Flight #1252 is scheduled to take off from Dallas Love Field at 12:40 p.m. CDT, bound for Pittsburgh. Southwest Flight #1721 is scheduled to take off from Austin at 12:55 p.m. CDT, with Indianapolis as its final destination.

Last year the east bound lanes were closed and I-70 was single lane traffic in each direction on the westbound lanes. This resulted in numerous accidents and fatalities. As we had to regularly travel east a couple of times a week, we just avoided I-70 until Greenup or sometimes Casey.

Not sure that the westbound lanes will be closed on April 9th, but something to think about if travelling home that day - or passing through anytime through November.

Likely would have started several weeks ago if not for the eclipse.

Drove through the zone yesterday. Would be surprised if there's much happening on the 9th.
