The town I live in is completely in the path of totality. Ill be able to see the entire thing from my front yard. I'm so excited that something cool will finally happen here.
@etstiffler there's actually two little hotels in my town that are pretty cheap. Most things in town will be shut down for the eclipse so there will be plenty of space to watch the eclipse!
We drive 300 miles to see the last one and I can say that YOU MUST BE WITHIN THE PATH OF TOTALITY to truly appreciate this!!!! Being in the 70 or 80% line doesn't cut it. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen/felt. I've traveled the world, worked on 40 foot sees in the Bering Sea but this was the best. I can't recommend being within the path of totality. Can't wait for April.
Drove 500 miles to the last total eclipse. Parked on a university campus. People everywhere. Totality kicked in ... and all the campus Flood Lights automatically turned on !!!!! They were unplugged eventually but we lost half the eclipse time.
Excellent advice! I’ve seen two total eclipses. During the first one I drove about 40 miles to get into the totality. When I got back to where it had been 90%, people told me they barely noticed it. There’s a video on my channel about the Aug 2017 eclipse as seen from Wyoming. I highly recommend you do as he said: put the camera away and experience it. That was my plan for the first one, and that’s the plan for my third this coming April.
This one will be my 5th total solar eclipse I've seen in my lifetime. I'm going to Dallas to see/video it. The Aug. 2017 eclipse I was in Casper, Wyoming. I have a telescope/camera mounted on a Sky Tracker, and that does the video for me. (Jan Griffiths).
This takes me back. 2017 I drove to Madras, Oregon, and got to see totality for the greatest duration. What was really spectacular was the sun was directly east of us in the sky, however Mount Jefferson was directly to the west of us there and it was in those moments of great anticipation that everybody just kept their eye on the mountain behind us and just a few moments before we were plunged into darkness at 10:14 am the mountain went dark behind us and we got to watch the shadow race across the landscape and envelope us. It was the most cerebral experience of my entire life. I can remember tears on my face from the astonishment I felt. There isn’t much bigger that we can witness as far as scale goes. Maybe the supernova of Betelgeuse will surpass it, but these events are the most amazing thing humans can witness. I can’t think of much bigger. Perhaps when the comet slammed into Jupiter and left those marks on the surface that were bigger than the Earth. I believe it was Comet Shoemaker-Levy.
I watched the strikes on Jupiter, and that was truly spectacular. Even a replay of it, after all these years, still effects me. I'm ten miles from the center line of totality, with a National Forest where I know of many small clearings with an acre or three lake in it. And we're retired, so I can take as long of a weekend as I want. And our 40th anniversary will be only a month later. This will be an early present for us; alone camped at a Forest beside a lake, with an eclipse to make it all perfect. It will be about our last big celestial event, at our age, and we're so looking forward to it.❤
There are no CITIES named Nineveh in the U.S. UA-cam, the misinformation super highway, makes it interesting by spreading false rumors and outright lies.
Let me encourage you to see this eclipse. I didn't know what to what to expect in 2017 but it was truly fantastic. I could still see but it gets pretty dark, temp drops, and the bugs start . It was on the internet so I could track it before it arrived. I wasn't able to find a welding lens strong enough to look directly at the sun so I used two #9 lenses if memory serves me. I would definitely recommend that. Most welding stores would let ya try out lenses in the parking lot.
We booked our flight and hotel room for San Antonio the day after we got home from Albuquerque for the ring of fire eclipse in October. We're planning on driving up near Kerrville to get as much time with it as we can.
I've been waiting for this since it was predicted in 2017, even before the Great American eclipse. Because I live in Mexico, I wasn't able to see even a quarter of the 2017 eclipse, I saw a tiny bit of the sun getting covered where I live. But this time I plan to go to one of the places within the path of totality. The eclipse is approaching!
Dang. I live in southern Ontario. I’m in the path of totality, but ya I’m worried about the weather. I figure I’m gonna keep an eye on the weather, and hope I’m lucky. If it’s not looking good, I suppose I will wake up early, and start driving south.
I would recommend using a lens with a 35mm equivalent focal length of around 600mm. Auto bracketing the exposures and remotely controlling or using an intervalometer to control the camera are recommended. You will be surprised with how fast the Sun will move across the field of view, so keep an eye on the screen and be prepared to regularly adjust the camera direction. Using a tracking mount would reduce the need to adjust the camera direction. Look up the expected camera exposure settings before going to the eclipse site.
There is a trick I know about because I am 66 years old . But if you can find a cardboard box about the size of you head . Not corrugated ! The cardboard should be about the thickness of a shoe box . Poke a hold in it at about the height of your eyes , face away from the sun and face the side of the box with the hole in it tward the sun , you will see an image of the sun in front of your face . And you can see everything projected . To get a clean picture , glue a piece of fine paper to the inside of the box opposite the hole you poked in the box side . Enjoy ! 😉
I'm here today on the 8th of April 2024, just witnessed the Eclipse through NASA's live feeds... amazing to note that you did a video about this 1 year ago!
I'm all set for this eclipse. It will be the 5th total solar eclipse I've seen in my lifetime. I already have PTO from work, the flight and hotel booked. I'm going to Dallas to see it. My 2 video and one still cameras already have filters in place, and I have my viewing goggles. Last time in 2017 I went to Cheyenne WY for that one, and even got a video of the shadow bands (hence the 2nd video camera). It's gonna be good!!! (Jan Griffiths).
Thanks for this overview and advice! This will be my first total eclipse, and I definitely want to capture it on my mirrorless camera. I KNOW I should just enjoy the moment, but the urge to photograph it is just too strong. I am praying for clear skies that morning.
I think you can do both. I saw/and got on video 📸 zilch, nada, nothing here in NY in 2017 but I did enjoy it immensely watching it virtually from the Internet streaming. Good luck 👍
I am privileged to live in Kingston, Ontario where it will go directly overhead! Should be pretty kewl. I need to remember to buy some glasses for this.
This is great!! I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to the eclipse, but if I can I am SOOO excited! :D I'm new to amateur astronomy but I really like it! You're video really gave a great overview and great tips, I think I'll book reservations now and just make sure they have a good cancellation policy. Thanks again, and wishing you clear skies! 🌟🌑☀❤🌎
Binocular users - You can actually buy sheets of the same filter material used in eclipse glasses pretty cheap and use to make a filter box that fits over your binoculars. I did that for the 2017 event and actually reused the box and foam packing my 20X Celestron astronomy binoculars came in to do it. At 20X you can clearly make out sunspots with the filter on and during the eclipse could clearly see the fiery pink solar flares.
My kids are psyched. We're going on a road trip about 2 hours away, so we can see it in the southeastern corner of OK. My son got to see the one a few years ago but he was only 3 or 4.
Cincinnati here, so excited. We plan to drive about 75 miles northwest to witness this once in a lifetime event. It's going to be epic and i hope I get some good shots.
In 2017 I lived in Charlotte when the 2017 Solar eclipse happened. I've never seen one because I worked the night 12 hour shift that day and was working the night shift again. My luck didn't align like the sun and the moon, and fell asleep. it was gonna be a partial eclipse but pretty close. Now, I'm living in Zapopan Jalisco Mexico, close to nayarit where the totality will happen. Won't be as good as in Charlotte, close to SC, but still a solid 91% of the sun will be covered. I've seen total lunar eclipses about 3 times. They're way more common apparently. I'm incredibly exited!
You won't even see anything even at 99% coverage, it won't even get dark. People have to be in the 100% totality zone to see the beauty of the corona and to experience darkness. I drove to Columbia and it was total euphoria to behold
I'm temped to head to Rochester NY 4 hours away, based on the weather and possibility of overnight stay. Friends want to go to a party at a museum science center and other social events, not so much with people is my thing.
This is Maria from Colombia. I live in Las Vegas and I’m planning to go to Dallas and so exciting. I hope so. I can make a meeting for you as soul with your experience and your comments help me a lot. Thank you. Have a blessing week and blessing Christmas.
If you want to take photos, assuming you have a DSLR and telephoto lens, you can tape eclipse glasses over the lens hood’s front and center area and obscuring the rest so no light leaks in. Use a tripod! Practice for several days with test shots since it’s not easy to find the sun in the viewfinder.

@@j.777hemi2 The sign of Jonah was his resurrection from the belly of the great fish. This is the analogy Jesus used for His own resurrection (Mt. 12:39-40). When Jesus appears on the mount of Olives on the day of the Lord, Israel will see the resurrected Jesus, and will believe in the cross (Zech. 12:8-13:1). The Jews were lied to by their leaders, and told that Jesus' body was stolen by His disciples (Mt. 28:12-15). Eclipses, planetary alignments and meteor showers are not signs of impending doom from God. Also, there is no biblical evidence that an eclipse occurred during Jonah's travels to or through Nineveh, OR during the crucifixion of Christ. These are both social media urban legends (fairy tales).
Holy Moses! My house is directly in the center and have four minutes of total freak out coming for us! Can't wait to witness all the animals freak out with me too! "Hey" to everybody around Mother Neff State Park! Where's the big gathering gonna be?
Oh my, i remember that one when I was a kid... Don't know the exact time or date, but I do remember the excitement, the dark welding glass i was trying to see through 😅 i don't know what I was expecting, but i do remember daylight dimming as if it got cloudy all of sudden. Looking forward to seeing it again
I so want to see this. the one is 2021 came close to me but not in totality and this one will be close as well, This may be my only chance to see a total eclipse
And this will be the 2nd Saros 139 eclipse I've seen. The 1st was on March 7, 1970. I was 13 years old, and got some nice still pictures of it. (Jan Griffiths).
I live in Alabama and my mom lives in Greenbrier. I may drive to her house the day before and possibly go to Clinton the morning of. But I'm worried about traffic. Traffic is bad enough on a normal day on 65. I was looking at either going to Clinton or Shirley. I'll sleep in my car if I have to. I have an air mattress that fits in the back. I can put the back seats down. That's what I do when I camp around Boxley Valley. I'm taking off a week. It's also a new moon that week so I'll be taking milky way photos while I'm out there. And I'll be looking for waterfalls. I want to find some I haven't been to yet.
....and it's said that it will be here and at it's perihelion right in the middle of this eclipse! And more: Apparently SEVEN planets in our Solar System (including our Earth) will also all be aligning in a straight line at the time of this elclipse! But wait, there's even more: SEVEN years earlier, in the 2017 eclipse, the line of totality (that cut across the USA from North West to South East) passed directly through SEVEN locations in the US [there are 36 in total] that have the name Salem (which has also been known as another name for Jerusalem). Now, SEVEN years later, in this eclipse, and whose path of totality will run this time from South West to North East across the US (and effectively drawing a big 'X' over the US on top of the 2017 path), the line of totality will pass through SEVEN places named NINEVEH! Bur, unlike the Salems, there are ONLY SEVEN places in the US named NINEVEH, and the path of totality goes right through ALL SEVEN of them! SEVEN out of SEVEN, ...not bad! But, if you want to extend things a bit, there is only ONE place called NINEVEH in all of Canada, ...and it is in Nova Scotia, ....and yep, the path of the eclipse also passes right through that Canadian NINEVEH as well! EIGHT out Eight, all up, for US and Canada! Not bad eh? For those who read the Bible, and are familiar with the Biblical account of Jonah (and the Whale), the reluctant prophet who was asked by God to go and prophecy to Nineveh, this might raise eyebrows a bit more with them. To be very concise. Jonah was sent to the Assyrian Capital of Nineveh (at that time a very, wealthy, powerful, affluent, and self-satisfied type of place, but also wicked and idolatrous) to prophecy and warn Nineveh that, basically, you have got 40 days to repent, or you are toast! Well, as the Bible records, Nineveh DID repent, en masse, and was saved - I think it is actually the most successful mass repentance event recorded in the Bible. (But obviously Pharaoh's Egypt, and Sodom and Gomorrah were not that big on repentance). At this point do you think it is quite safe, mature, reasonable, and rational, for me to ask the question, is there perhaps something just a little bit more than coincidence and mere random happenstance going on here with all this? "Coincidence Is NOT A Kosher word" A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, therefore none shall be given to it, except the sign of the prophet, Jonah".
I've e-mailed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,imploring them to set up huge speakers during totality to play the Walker Brothers 1965 hit"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore."
My daughter loves in Dallas. Center of totality looks to be just a tiny bit south of Dallas. I’ll visit my daughter and identify a spot in the center of totality to go to at the right time.
Can I see without eclipse glasses when the sunlight is travelling toward us, but NOT reach us just yet. Those 3 or 4 seconds that you can see the sunlight travelling at the speed of light!!! I saw it for 2 or 3 seconds during the 2017 eclipse.
Hi These glasses use premium light-blocking film lenses that filter out harmful infrared, ultraviolet, and 99.99% of visible light. Are these safe for Tottalty
Fun fact my 21st birthday was august 21 2017 during the last eclipse. My dad’s birthday is april 8. What are the odds both me and my dad have birthdays aligning with solar eclipses? Pretty cool honestly.
If you're a welder, just throw on your welding mask and it will make for a fine eclipse viewing device. Or if you're a real cheapskate, buy a welding mask and then return it the day after. 😎
The lunar eclipse is the one they can't explain. The earth's shadow across the face of the moon is clearly curved. A solar eclipse could still occur on a flat earth because it is the moon that blocks the sunlight.
thank god i work for a hotel. i got 2 nights for $45 a night. but yeah, prices hiked to $750 a night for Family and friends discount. with no discounts the price comes up to $1000 a night. yeah...if you know a friend or family who can get discounts get THEM!
want computer images of the eclipse? there will be tons of them posted on the internet. some will even be good ones. so just take pictures of the effect the eclipse has on everyone around you or just don't even bother with the camera. only the pros will get great shots. the expert hobbyists will treat this as a photography challenge.
Does it ever rain during eclipse? I noticed the skies were super clear no clouds at all. What if it snows? Often DFW gets Winter in Feb. or March but April should be good. Will we still be able to see it if weather is bad? Just curious.... AWESOME video. Thank you for your GREAT examples etc. OH you went to Curacao? Was that fun? Curacao is on my list of Go' to's in the next years.
It'll still get dark out, dark enough to turn on street lights and commercial business signs that trigger by light. But no corona other than what comes in a bottle.
40 days after April 8th: Pentacost, and Shavuat, etc., and (apparenttly) this particular year Easter and Pentecost (Shavuat), etc, ALL align on the same days, for the major denominations, Greek Orthodox, etc.
I am concerned!! There is a black hole going around the earth. Which in turn is very dangerous. So the Eclipse is earth, sun, and moon. What happens if the moon or the sun touches the black hole at the time of the Eclipse. Are we all history on April 8th 2024. I don't know!! Just putting it out there!! Never know what can happen!! I hope I am wrong!!
It's just Mexico, the U.S., and Canada this time. But if you're willing to travel, there's a solar eclipse visible from *somewhere* several times each decade.
Can you show the path of the previous eclipse in 2017 in relation to this path? I believe there is a town in TX that will be in the crosshairs X of those paths! I have seen it shown but can’t find it again! 🙏🏼
Revelation 6:12 (ESV) 12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,
Black as sackcloth refers to the end of the gospel for salvation, moon became as blood refers to the law requiring justice. May 21, 2011 was the beginning of judgement day on the world { you were warned} ! ALL of God's elect were saved by that date. Great earthquake explained in Zec 14;13 And it shall come to pass in that day, a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. Tumult = disbelief & confusion Division is the result for the destruction of mankind. Because I have called; and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh; Proverbs 1; 24-26
@@Cjnw Camping didn't know about what happens after May 21 (couldn't know - wasn't yet revealed by God). He had no special knowledge that wasn't also available to any bible student at the time; if anything, he was stuck in church age doctrine/ideas from his life long involvement in the church. The date is absolutely solid. There is even more biblical evidence today locking it in as the end of the age of grace, beginning of judgement on the world. We have learned since, sometime in 2033 is the 'last day' of judgement (with far more bible time-paths !!). What follows? Eternity? Or is there something else we don't yet see?
How big of a shadow the moon casts. The moons orbit is not a perfect circle so when it’s closer the shadow is bigger and therefore totality lasts longer. The earth’s orbit around the sun also brings us sometimes closer and sometimes farther from the sun. This also has an effect. As does geography and spin of the earth
The town I live in is completely in the path of totality. Ill be able to see the entire thing from my front yard. I'm so excited that something cool will finally happen here.
Wow!! Lucky you! :D I hope it's great!
I live in dallas, the path is going right through us. I am so happy
Can me, my wife, and my two kids stay at your place on April 7-8?
Me, my wife and 2 daughters too plzz
@etstiffler there's actually two little hotels in my town that are pretty cheap. Most things in town will be shut down for the eclipse so there will be plenty of space to watch the eclipse!
It’s the fact that April 8th is my birthday and I literally live in the path like straight on it
Happy birthday 🎂🎈🎈 👍✨✨😎🕶️🌞🕶️🕶️😊

@@j.777hemi2 The sign of Jonah was his resurrection from the belly of the great fish. This is the analogy Jesus used for His own resurrection (Mt. 12:39-40).
When Jesus appears on the mount of Olives on the day of the Lord, Israel will see the resurrected Jesus, and will believe in the cross (Zech. 12:8-13:1).
The Jews were lied to by their leaders, and told that Jesus' body was stolen by His disciples (Mt. 28:12-15).
Eclipses, planetary alignments and meteor showers are not signs of impending doom from God. Also, there is no biblical evidence that an eclipse occurred during Jonah's travels to or through Nineveh, OR during the crucifixion of Christ. These are both social media urban legends (fairy tales).
Solar eclipses are nothing new.
Holy Moses! My house is directly in the center and have four minutes of total freak out coming for us! Can't wait to witness all the animals freak out with me too!

I'm from Ripley county Missouri!!! We are right in it!!! Wild
Great video, thanks.
Oh my, i remember that one when I was a kid... Don't know the exact time or date, but I do remember the excitement, the dark welding glass i was trying to see through 😅 i don't know what I was expecting, but i do remember daylight dimming as if it got cloudy all of sudden. Looking forward to seeing it again
I so want to see this. the one is 2021 came close to me but not in totality and this one will be close as well, This may be my only chance to see a total eclipse
And this will be the 2nd Saros 139 eclipse I've seen. The 1st was on March 7, 1970. I was 13 years old, and got some nice still pictures of it. (Jan Griffiths).
OK, Boomer!
Yep, and proud of it. (Jan Griffiths).@@Cjnw
@@Cjnw Dinosaurs deserve their day in the sun... or lack thereof ☝☝ (1970 also)
Nicely done! Great job, Dan!
The Heavens show Gods Creativity!
Yes they do. Hallelu-YAH!
This will be great viewing for those folks in the USA
Clinton Arkansas in the direct center I'm getting 4:15 of totality 🥳
I live in Alabama and my mom lives in Greenbrier. I may drive to her house the day before and possibly go to Clinton the morning of. But I'm worried about traffic. Traffic is bad enough on a normal day on 65. I was looking at either going to Clinton or Shirley. I'll sleep in my car if I have to. I have an air mattress that fits in the back. I can put the back seats down. That's what I do when I camp around Boxley Valley. I'm taking off a week. It's also a new moon that week so I'll be taking milky way photos while I'm out there. And I'll be looking for waterfalls. I want to find some I haven't been to yet.
I live in Pittsburg New Hampshire, on the Canadian border. Hopefully it will be a nice day.
There is also a comet that will be seen as well
....and it's said that it will be here and at it's perihelion right in the middle of this eclipse! And more: Apparently SEVEN planets in our Solar System (including our Earth) will also all be aligning in a straight line at the time of this elclipse!
But wait, there's even more: SEVEN years earlier, in the 2017 eclipse, the line of totality (that cut across the USA from North West to South East) passed directly through SEVEN locations in the US [there are 36 in total] that have the name Salem (which has also been known as another name for Jerusalem).
Now, SEVEN years later, in this eclipse, and whose path of totality will run this time from South West to North East across the US (and effectively drawing a big 'X' over the US on top of the 2017 path), the line of totality will pass through SEVEN places named NINEVEH! Bur, unlike the Salems, there are ONLY SEVEN places in the US named NINEVEH, and the path of totality goes right through ALL SEVEN of them! SEVEN out of SEVEN, ...not bad! But, if you want to extend things a bit, there is only ONE place called NINEVEH in all of Canada, ...and it is in Nova Scotia, ....and yep, the path of the eclipse also passes right through that Canadian NINEVEH as well! EIGHT out Eight, all up, for US and Canada! Not bad eh?
For those who read the Bible, and are familiar with the Biblical account of Jonah (and the Whale), the reluctant prophet who was asked by God to go and prophecy to Nineveh, this might raise eyebrows a bit more with them. To be very concise. Jonah was sent to the Assyrian Capital of Nineveh (at that time a very, wealthy, powerful, affluent, and self-satisfied type of place, but also wicked and idolatrous) to prophecy and warn Nineveh that, basically, you have got 40 days to repent, or you are toast! Well, as the Bible records, Nineveh DID repent, en masse, and was saved - I think it is actually the most successful mass repentance event recorded in the Bible. (But obviously Pharaoh's Egypt, and Sodom and Gomorrah were not that big on repentance).
At this point do you think it is quite safe, mature, reasonable, and rational, for me to ask the question, is there perhaps something just a little bit more than coincidence and mere random happenstance going on here with all this?
"Coincidence Is NOT A Kosher word"
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, therefore none shall be given to it, except the sign of the prophet, Jonah".
I am excited about this because the solar eclipse might bring Jesus and the rapture.

Why this one and not the one on August 12, 2045?
Great video 📸 super helpful.
Thanks! :)
Put the eclipse glasses over your phone's camera lense. :D
🎉
Im in Curtis Arkansas, we get the real thing.🎉
we gonna just put lawn chairs in the front yard.😅
Can’t wait! Planning on going to Rochester, NY to watch Totality 👍🏾
I've e-mailed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,imploring them to set up huge speakers during totality to play the Walker Brothers 1965 hit"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore."
It’s… one of the cloudiest places in the country. I wish you luck
I can't Wait to watch it here in dallas
Keep the razor wire protection up!
My daughter loves in Dallas. Center of totality looks to be just a tiny bit south of Dallas. I’ll visit my daughter and identify a spot in the center of totality to go to at the right time.
Can I see without eclipse glasses when the sunlight is travelling toward us, but NOT reach us just yet. Those 3 or 4 seconds that you can see the sunlight travelling at the speed of light!!!
I saw it for 2 or 3 seconds during the 2017 eclipse.
Hopefully on that day,the Twins will pitch Sonny Gray.
In Arlington or Cleveland.
Montreal will also be in the eclipse and I live there so yay!
Helpful, info. Rockwall, Texas so I believe fairly near the centerline.
I would love to see drone footage of this event
Hi
These glasses use premium light-blocking film lenses that filter out harmful infrared, ultraviolet, and 99.99% of visible light. Are these safe for Tottalty
Fun fact my 21st birthday was august 21 2017 during the last eclipse. My dad’s birthday is april 8. What are the odds both me and my dad have birthdays aligning with solar eclipses? Pretty cool honestly.
If you're a welder, just throw on your welding mask and it will make for a fine eclipse viewing device. Or if you're a real cheapskate, buy a welding mask and then return it the day after. 😎
i checked out hotels in the area of Carbondale IL ...weekend prices average over 400$ per night!!!
It crosses in Little Egypt
Live in the UK, have never seen a total solar eclipse and probably never will get a chance to :(
I still have eclipse glasses from 2017, will they be good for 2024?? 🤔
Me too
Yes, if they haven't been scratched or badly bent.
For once I'm home hoping that I'll see it but I'lll probably only get to catch a bit of it here in Oshawa
It would be interesting to hear how the flat earth crowd explains solar eclipse
The lunar eclipse is the one they can't explain. The earth's shadow across the face of the moon is clearly curved. A solar eclipse could still occur on a flat earth because it is the moon that blocks the sunlight.
Sadly, one only has to scroll through these comments... d'oh!
thank god i work for a hotel. i got 2 nights for $45 a night. but yeah, prices hiked to $750 a night for Family and friends discount. with no discounts the price comes up to $1000 a night. yeah...if you know a friend or family who can get discounts get THEM!
Hi. I live in Arkansas. I can’t wait. I’m excited. New subscriber here. Will you keep us updated in the days to come?
want computer images of the eclipse? there will be tons of them posted on the internet. some will even be good ones. so just take pictures of the effect the eclipse has on everyone around you or just don't even bother with the camera. only the pros will get great shots. the expert hobbyists will treat this as a photography challenge.
Why not review the 1st part eclipse back dated 2017 ? The coming 2024 is the round trip of the 2017 eclipse.
Does it ever rain during eclipse? I noticed the skies were super clear no clouds at all. What if it snows? Often DFW gets Winter in Feb. or March but April should be good. Will we still be able to see it if weather is bad? Just curious.... AWESOME video. Thank you for your GREAT examples etc. OH you went to Curacao? Was that fun? Curacao is on my list of Go' to's in the next years.
It'll still get dark out, dark enough to turn on street lights and commercial business signs that trigger by light. But no corona other than what comes in a bottle.
If your in Dallas outskirts let me know🎉😊
Keep the razor wire up! FJB! LGB!
ill be making a day of it in geneva-on-the-lake ohio.
I reserved our hotel in Dayton on today. I live in Michigan❤.
East Rochester ny baby
Very thorough run through of some of the issues. But how do I prepare to experience a total eclipse of the heart?
Haha...!! 🎉
Turn around
My yard again!
Day before my 48th birthday! LOL :(
I love Solar Eclipses ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Solar eclipse how moon block the sunlight. During orbits the Earth. Moon shadows on the surface of the round Earth.
Thx! Have you got something like this for 10/14/2023 eclipse?
I Saw it at the cave in rock State park in Illinois In twenty seventeen. Can it be seen there this year this time
The astrological aspects are the only ones that matter. They will be in effect for at least 6 months.
It will be cloudy
The only way the math of the solar eclipse works is at the improper scale that they show you.
Moon and Sun gets eclipsed . But Earth ?
Guess when pass over starts?
40 days after April 8th: Pentacost, and Shavuat, etc., and (apparenttly) this particular year Easter and Pentecost (Shavuat), etc, ALL align on the same days, for the major denominations, Greek Orthodox, etc.
I am concerned!! There is a black hole going around the earth. Which in turn is very dangerous.
So the Eclipse is earth, sun, and moon. What happens if the moon or the sun touches the black hole at the time of the Eclipse. Are we all history on April 8th 2024.
I don't know!! Just putting it out there!!
Never know what can happen!!
I hope I am wrong!!
I will be in Thailand during that time. Will other countries see the eclipse?
It's just Mexico, the U.S., and Canada this time. But if you're willing to travel, there's a solar eclipse visible from *somewhere* several times each decade.
2023??? 10-14
Dan, have you done any research on mirages?
I am in Toronto. Close enough.
Close! Can you make it down to Hamilton on the big day?
⬇️is in the path of totality 8:12
Can you show the path of the previous eclipse in 2017 in relation to this path? I believe there is a town in TX that will be in the crosshairs X of those paths! I have seen it shown but can’t find it again! 🙏🏼
Crosshairs? Like a target? How about a simple intersection?
Not in Texas but in Illinois: The lucky folks in Carbondale got to see it in 2017 and will get to see this one in April. :)
Revelation 6:12 (ESV)
12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,
Total solar eclipses occur @ new moon. You'll have to misuse a different passage.
Blessed Holy Gańpaţ! 🐘🐘🐘🐘🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️
Black as sackcloth refers to the end of the gospel for salvation, moon became as blood refers to the law requiring justice.
May 21, 2011 was the beginning of judgement day on the world { you were warned} !
ALL of God's elect were saved by that date.
Great earthquake explained in Zec 14;13
And it shall come to pass in that day, a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. Tumult = disbelief & confusion
Division is the result for the destruction of mankind.
Because I have called; and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh; Proverbs 1; 24-26
@@jim9930 #HaroldCamping claimed that date to end the world
@@Cjnw Camping didn't know about what happens after May 21 (couldn't know - wasn't yet revealed by God). He had no special knowledge that wasn't also available to any bible student at the time; if anything, he was stuck in church age doctrine/ideas from his life long involvement in the church. The date is absolutely solid. There is even more biblical evidence today locking it in as the end of the age of grace, beginning of judgement on the world. We have learned since, sometime in 2033 is the 'last day' of judgement (with far more bible time-paths !!). What follows? Eternity? Or is there something else we don't yet see?
Since of course nowhere worth mentioning exists outside of the US..I guess I’ll just stay indoors then!
2:00-- what is the explanation for that difference in time? And, also, wouldn't an ellipse cause the moon to accelerate?
How big of a shadow the moon casts. The moons orbit is not a perfect circle so when it’s closer the shadow is bigger and therefore totality lasts longer. The earth’s orbit around the sun also brings us sometimes closer and sometimes farther from the sun. This also has an effect. As does geography and spin of the earth
Will it be visible in Africa😂? Just wondering
Unfortunately for me I live in Nigeria please can you predict when it will happen in Africa or Nigeria at least me seeing a prenumbra is something
The next total solar eclipse to pass through Nigeria is March 20, 2034.
omg, we havent had a solar eclipse since um 5 or 6 years ago. and we all remember what happened then. nothing
