The "CBS Evening News" premiered as a half-hour broadcast on Sept. 2, 1963. Check local listings for CBS Evening News broadcast times.
He said the next one was in 2017! At that time, everyone must have thought, "That's so far away! That day will never come!". Now here we are, we just finished seeing the 2017 eclipse!
Fresh Prince (from first episode): I can't think that far ahead...
The Official Andy Saenz,
I was invited by the state of Oregon parks directors to go up and give lectures at the Painted Hills, auction starting at the Prineville Reservoir State Park Amphitheater.
You wouldn't believe how many people stayed in Portland again even though it's beautifully sunny on August 21st 2017 at the only saw a 99.5% eclipse because they thought that was good enough through special solar sunglasses.
They did not get to see and experience the special subtleties of the Corona for two-and-a-half minutes or the other subtle effects.
There was so much bad hype news just weeks before the eclipse, August 2017 that it scared most portlanders not to leave their homes, fearing that they would run out of auto fuel, water or food.
Now they're saying they'll go to the next eclipse in 2024 in the southern states and toward the Eastern seaboard imagine they couldn't even drive 20 minutes from their homes in Portland you didn't have to go all the way to Salem Oregon to see the totality, as many assumed.
The same thing happened in Portland that day in February 1979 in the deep dark of winter, as many stayed in Portland thinking they would look up, as they didn't plan on the weather.
My wife and myself drove up to Hood River, ir was beautifully clear and I produced an entire 36 exposure film role of Kodachrome slides, using my college days 35 mm camera, and a crude 135 mm telephoto lens.
Later in the 2017 Eclipse, I took, technically, over several thousand photos, operating three cameras simultaneously with two on a telescope, and the third camera recording me busy at work.
These images are all displayed in my Facebook, and Mark sibold UA-cam channel.
It's now 2024 and I hope to see the eclipse in April, which is not long from now, right here in Texas!
There is one coming on Monday, apr. 8th. 2024
Fast forward to today, April 8, 2024
Anyone watching this in 2024?
Me
Me!
I’m watching in 2044. It’s fantastic! I flew up to Montana by jet pack to see it. President Ocasio-Cortez declared it a national holiday to give us all the day off.
ME!
@@brianarbenz1329 that won't happen in 2044 we will die
And that's the way it was: Monday, February 26, 1979.
The day I was born. 😊
I was in junior high school in 1979 remember saying 2017 seem like 100 years from 1979 but it got here
Just got here from the 2024 solar eclipse. It was absolutely breathtaking and exciting! 🌓
anyone watching this in 2017?
Sky Williams me
I'm watching from 2019.
Don't come here. It's not safe.
Omega Zapruder I’m watching from 2020, it’s not safe either
Anyone still in 1979 ? Hello from Feb 28 2024 and wishes the 1970s were still now.
I was in high school in Portland Oregon - may dad drove the family to eastern Oregon where it was sunny so we could see it.
My mom was about 2 months pregnant with me. I’m now 44, so it’s kinda neat. I wonder if she thought about how old I would be during the next solar eclipse.
The year 2017 sounded like it was a long time away in the future. Now it's getting to be a long time ago in the past.
And today we finished the 2024 eclipse! Now waiting for August 12, 2045!!
I was lucky enough to see the 1979 eclipse from North Dakota, and the 2017 eclipse from Nebraska right in the line of totality.
For Monday’s 2024 eclipse will be in California so won’t get to see it but they really are magnificent events.
I was a 9 year old third grader on February 26, 1979. I understood at that time that the next total eclipse for North America would not occur until August 21, 2017. What I had no way of knowing on 2/26/79, is that other events on August 21, 2017 would include my son being one week away from his own 9th birthday and my wife and daughter celebrating their respective birthdays. I also had no way of knowing that I would be serving as a juror on a criminal trial on that day.
"... the forces of darkness ruled in daylight ..." - I miss reporting like this.
I was 7 years old and playing outside at school( resess) it got dark and our principle came on the intercom. " Children what you are seeing outside is the eclipse of the Sun, NO DON'T LOOK AT THE SUN, DONT EVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN".
I remember this on TV. I was 20 years old! Walter Cronkite was the best!
Now you're 64! Time flies!
I was 20 also. and here we are in our 60's!!!
whos watching this in 2017 when it alreddyed happehed
I believe CBS broadcast (and Cronkite anchored) a 15-or-20 minute special program around 11:15 A.M. Eastern time to cover totality over the Pacific Northwest, with Eric Enberg and Terry Drinkwater reporting from the eclipse zone.
Any chance that this could be found and posted on You Tube?
I was home from school at that time with the chicken pox...lolz. I was in the 1st grade, and remembered my mom showing me how to view the eclipse through a pinhole onto another piece of paper from inside the house. The February sun angle is low in MI where I lived and still live.
I was also in first grade and we were very close to the path of totality. School was delayed so kids would not look up at it as they were walking to school. I remember watching it on TV and then looking outside and seeing it was almost as dark as night. Even at age six I thought it was the coolest thing!
The eclipse is a perfect example of how the sun and moon are close and local.
When the news was just the news and not the opinion of the anchor giving us their version of the news...
I remember I was in Government class at Elston High School, the teacher let us stop class to observe the eclipse.
Wow I did not know that my mom was 2 my grandma was in her early 40s when this happened
He say 2017 and it did
This broadcast begs the question for the Flat Earthers: If modern science is wrong about the earth being round, then explain how did Walter Cronkite predict the 2017 eclipse at least 37 years before it happened.
I miss Walter Cronkite and others of his ilk. We all watched these guys every night, and we trusted them implicitly. What the heck happened to us?
News became for profit companies that only tell people what they want to hear. And they have to please their shareholders.
Stop watching Fox News and Newsmax and maybe you’ll start trusting the news again.
2017 came and went since this news eclipse in 1979
Who's in 2018 and missed this lol
Goldendale Washington in 1979 just 1 year before the clouds from the Mount Saint Helens eruption blocked the sky for days that stretched from Longview to Spokane In Washington state, And Missoula Montana.
Back when we trusted the news.
I remember the broadcasts of Frank Reynolds and Walter Cronkite, yeah 2017 is so far off, 2024 was barely thought of. Now we March on to 2044/2045. Will we even be alive?
What they described as a "second sunrise on the corona" looks like a nuclear bomb went off on the moon's surface! 😨😱
At 3:30 I'd like to be on whatever he's on.....
It's 2017
well THATS THIS YEAR YAHYEE
3:31 totally dude
Grooovy
I was in 1st grade, i was getting ready to walk to school, and my mom warned me that theres was going to be an eclipse, and when it gets dark out dont try to find the sun...i remember the dark sky, and every body in my class went out to see it, except for me because my 1st grade teacher was a asshole..... i making a eclipse viewer for April 8th...?
Fue el LUNES. 26 DE FEBRERO. DE 1979. EL ECLIPSE SOLAR.
The world was a better place in 1979. People were nicer to each other, people were paid a living wage and even the air smelled better.
And they knew how to celebrate!
he read the copy "am-merica", so yes, it was time for him to retire.
2017 has flashed by, 2024 has come and gone for another eclipse. Any predictions for 2044/2045,? The 100th anniversary of the end of WW II?
