Solar Eclipse 2017

On August 21, 2017, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun. Viewers around the world will be provided a wealth of images captured before, during, and after the eclipse by 11 spacecraft, at least three NASA aircraft, more than 50 high-altitude balloons, and the astronauts aboard the International Space Station – each offering a unique vantage point for the celestial event.

I’ll wave on my way by to Fontana Dam this morning...I was thinking about Cherohala Skyway, but that will be a parking lot.

I work in the Maryville hospital. I can hardly wait for the lunacy. My shift starts at 1400, but I’m heading out around ten. Traffic.

Tight? I’ve heard the same...on the occasions that I have been there, I have seen nothing but sad faces walking out to the cars. Hell of a facility, though.

When I was a kid we went to Cherokee a few times on one of our trips to visit family. Small town with a great candy store. That was back in the sixties. I’d like to see any pictures you post.

My friend’s family rented a cabin in Townsend for the weekend, checkout time at 11 a.m. today. When they made the arrangements they didn’t realize it was eclipse day and they’ll be heading for Kingston. They’re so screwed.

I’ve been trying to find out if it’s possible to view the eclipse with your cell phone camera in selfie mode over your shoulder? Will it destroy your camera?

I fully expect someone in the media to associate the eclipse with global warming.

Guess I’m just an old fogey, but I don’t get all the excitement.

What is the over/under for the number of people in the US who will report eye damage after the eclipse has passed?

Solar Eclipse iPhone Photography: Warnings and Tips

https://www.idropnews.com/news/solar-eclipse-iphone-photography-warnings-tips/47339/

NASA recommends that you use a solar filter when attempting to capture the eclipse with a smartphone camera. While Apple has said that its iPhone doesn’t need a filter to view the eclipse, it might be best not to risk your beloved smartphone’s photography equipment. This is especially true for prolonged shots or recording video.

Socked in fog this morning which of course means hazy, crummy day we won’t even be able to see the planes flying over, only hear them.

In SoCal we won’t see much of the eclipse anyway. Can’t get terribly excited.

At a beautiful lake/reservoir outside of Baker, OR. traffic was light on the way down — the media predictions of epic freeway traffic jams were so much bull. In fact, the only way I could tell it wasn’t “any” morning on I-84 was the occasional car with a gas can strapped on top! There are probably 20 people at the boat launch area where I am and some tents across the lake. Definitely not too crowded although I think the little chipmunks probably wonder what is going on. One boater, a joker, keeps playing “Here comes the sun” over and over.

The phone manufacturers say it will not damage the phone.
