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.

Combined General and Maryland “Freak State” PING! with a DANG! thrown in for good measure.
Headed out for just south of Baker OR in 3 hours. Traffic on Oregon highways — with the exception of around Madras where there is a freak festival going on — has been LIGHTER than normal all weekend.
I prefer the eclipses come to me. I think I’ll sleep in a little, then step outside sometime after a late breakfast. Let no cloud pass before the sun at the appointed time.
I’m sitting in Harrah’s Cherokee in Cherokee, North Carolina. Looks like a slight chance of clouds, 20%, but mostly sunny. All manner of solar eclipse activities planned at the Riverwalk on the casino resort property. Haven’t been up here in years, this place has certainly grown into an elaborate and very nice place. I’m impressed, one of the largest hotels in the state. I’m looking forward to it, will try to post photos but it may be this evening, we’re likely headed east toward home not long after totality in order to hopefully miss most of the traffic.
Laugh all you want but this video scares the crap out of me at about 19:30 because I can see the invisible non-illuminated moon or body pass behind the moon... and it freaks me out to think that state-run, left-wing, Islam-loving, climate-change-pushing NASA might know the truth and is lying to us...

I got to that video because I have no facts to disprove this video...

This guy is is correct: North America is spins 27 times the rate of the shadow of the moon;
and thus it makes no sense that the shadow of the moon is moving its way across North America, or in that direction, AT ALL.
Plus it looks like all the scientific models are turning the globe in the wrong direction for the eclipse?
Huh?
Someone got some math to disprove this video even when they have the earth spinning in the proper direction?
The first video really freaks me out because the second video pointed out all the mathematical mistakes with eclipses.
Laugh all you want, but I want real math and not Islam-loving NASA “facts” and no, I have not seen part two or three of the Potter’s Clay’s videos, only part 1. Too freaked out by the invisible moon idea at moment, and by these quotes from the ancient Greeks and others discussed these non-illuminated heavenly bodies...
Math, please!
I hear Harrah’s Cherokee has a reputation for being “tight” so some seem to believe that payout isn’t as good as Vegas. I wouldn’t know about that one way or the other, but I do have family members along who have never set foot in a casino, so we’ll go in for at least a little while in the AM before the big event starts, should be entertaining.
Foggy along some of the Oregon coast but that’s not where I’m headed - I’ll be at the edge of the southeastern Oregon desert basin.
I hope the Good Lord holds off on Oregon’s chastisement for at least another day — Lord knows the governor deserves it after signing into law the “free abortions for all bill” - covering even transients and illegals. Somehow this fits in well with the total eclipse of sanity in western Oregon and particularly the state government.
I’ll be taking Modafinil Rx to stay awake on the drive. It’s only 3 AM here. Same drug used by military pilots to promote wakefulness.
Dang what time is this happening Central Time, South Texas?????
I’ll be leaving in about 20 minutes for Glenrock, WY with my Sons.

We’re supposed to be in the “totality path”, or at the edge of it in Lenoir City, TN. Right now it’s quite cloudy.
Thanks, I’ll be live streaming myself for a group of 200 in South Carolina. Getting my yelling voice ready

In the first eclipse of human civilization, everybody looked up at the sun because they did not know better. They all went blind.
Our own Charles Henrickson lives in the path of totality in MO. Hopefully the clouds won’t obscure his view today. Maybe he will post what it was like IF the clouds don’t block his view.
I-81 was a Roman chariot race yesterday...
