NASA animation shows entire path of totality for April 8, 2024 solar eclipse

[@kokimotousa]

I live in Dallas, TX and early in the day the clouds started covering the skies, but later on we had cloud breaking and were able to see the total eclipse. It was an incredible sight!

[@lothartheterrible]

The clouds broke in Austin just in time for a clear glimpse at totality; it was way cool.

Husband and I had ONE day off work. We worked 12 hours Sunday, went to bed at 10pm. Left the Appleton WI area at 4:30 AM central daylight time. Drove and drove and drove down through Milwaukee and the horrible Chicago toll roads/construction/traffic jams. Drove and drove some more in heavy traffic down I-65 and its wondrous "Left Lane ends in a mile" repeating theme. So fun to have the traffic down to a crawl a dozen times in 140 miles. /sarc. So, 370 miles of stressful driving, courtesy of husband (former truck driver). Finally got there, about an hour before the partial phase was to begin. Great weather. We parked in a Costco lot well away from the building; quite a few other people had the same idea but no crowding. Now, I had been after a total solar eclipse for my bucket list since I was a kid 50 years ago. Finally had a chance and it was an awesome experience. The appearance of totality was better than any photo or video I'd ever seen; it had almost a 3D appearance. 3 minutes and 38 seconds or so passed so fast. Then we got to fight far worse traffic leaving the area (we should have gone west not northwest, since the entire city of Chicago seemed to have shown up in Indianapolis for the show. We finally went out of our way to avoid Chi town and Milwaukee entirely, adding 60 miles and many wasted hours in standstill/stop-and-go traffic. Extremely stressful and exhausting, plus we are scheduled to work 12 hours again in less than 17 hours. We just got home half an hour ago as of this writing (2:00 AM CDT). It was worth it but knowing what I know now, I'd have made different arrangements for getting there and back!

[@visarr]

I agree with you that no photo or video catches the 3D experience. I'm glad you worked so hard to see it. I flew from California to Texas - so worth it!

[@thischannelis_bad123]

As someone who experienced totality in my hometown city in Durango, Mexico, it only looked 3D because most of the photos that I see about eclipses, are pretty boring and they dont show the glowing edges on the Moon, but this time, more people actually captured the same thing and it looked EXACTLYVlike real life

[@vaunb2003]

It's so intriguing how the animation even showed the detail of the shadow warping due to the curvature of the earth. I did not register that would even happen but I'm glad that detail was included. It really gives a sense of reckoning regarding the physics of light and shadows still behaving as they should on a planetary scale.

[@raechelyndawn2580]

It was so awesome in Dallas! So glad that I was on the path of totality!! Amazing! ❤

I live in the path of totality. I stepped out from work for about 10 minutes and it was awe-inspiring. The northeast corner of New York State near Lake Champlain.

Spent eight hours in the car today to visit Bloomington, Indiana to see complete totality and then back to Somerset, Kentucky. I missed the 2017 eclipse and certainly wasn't going to miss this one. The weather was perfect, certainly worth the drive!

Peace on Earth

[@pazbien3549]

The Beginning of Calamities Matt. 24:3-14 3 As He (Jesus Christ) was sitting on the Mount of Olives,* the disciples approached him privately and said, “Tell us, when will this happen, and what sign will there be of your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 Jesus said to them in reply, “See that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars* and reports of wars; see that you are not alarmed, for these things must happen, but it will not yet be the end. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be famines and earthquakes from place to place. 8 All these are the beginning of the labor pains. 9 Then they will hand you over to persecution, and they will kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of my name. 10 And then many will be led into sin; they will betray and hate one another. 11 Many false prophets will arise and deceive many; 12 and because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come." The Word of God

Interested in this also. We live in 3-4 mins totally. Saw the 2017, but this time got a hold of some glasses. What we missed doing was me taking photo of my husband eastward, and him shooting one of me westward with the “sunsets” behind each of us! That was one of the big blessings for me! Hopefully my mind never forgets that image.

[@meloncholy413]

Wow around 2:30PM I finally looked up in the sky with my glasses and the moon was already peaking into the sun. How exciting it was. About 2:45 I noticed how everything began to look like it was evening. At 3:00 things began to noticeably get darker. Just minutes before I couldn’t believe how quickly the light was vanishing and before I knew it, it was totaled!! It’s like someone had switched the light off with a flick of their finger and turned it back on! (I live between Toledo and Sandusky, OH)

[@vianbuto1]

[@ritali3058]

Can someone please explain to me why the Moon's umbra shadow touches the western side of the United States first, instead of the eastern side first.

[@megafatman_2682]

The way the moon orbits, ofcourse. If you were to look at Earth from the "top", you would see that the moon is orbiting counter-clockwise.

[@lanbabybillinengle791]

Because the earth turns clockwise

[@landanwoodard7569]

Easy. The sun and moon move clockwise concentric to Polaris which is situated vertically above the North Pole. However the black sun moves counter clockwise and it's what causes the eclipse. The deception and indoctrination runs deep.

[@carlosjuarez7522]

Because its retarded

[@multioptioned]

Viewed from above, the Moon orbits Earth in the same direction as our planet rotates. So, the Moon actually moves from west to east through our sky, albeit so slowly that we almost never notice it. During a total solar eclipse, however, we can see the Moon’s true motion as it crosses the Sun’s face from west to east. As this occurs, the Moon’s shadow follows it - moving in the same direction - and tracks a path across Earth’s surface.

This is what I sent friends and readers today.Everyone is talking about today's eclipse. We were cautioned not to stare directly at it without special glasses. My mind went back to Thales of Miletus who in 585 BC predicted an eclipse. Now while that was quite something there is on record an even greater prediction in the Old Testament. In Amos 8:9 the prophet predicted the darkness that covered the earth when Christ hung on the cross. It reads, "And in that day declares the Lord God I will make the sun go down at noon and will darken the earth in the daytime." Now read ' 'At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock." [Mark 15:33] That eclipses today's eclipse doesn't it? And look, leading secular historians around at that time admitted to what happened when Jesus died and the sun, as it were, left the sky.

[@sidboyplays7614]
