For those who are planning to see the eclipse, here is a screenshot of the times in the totallity areas.

I'm still debating how we're going to see this. With clear skies it's only an hour away from where we live, but the chance of clear skies is very low. We did the road trip for the last eclipse and ended up in a little park in northern Tennessee (about 4 hours from where we live). That was fun. This time I expect we'll head SW towards Texas.

As far as I'm concerned, this Total Eclipse is a Bucket-List "can't miss" opportunity :tailgate:

I've never experienced a total eclipse but have read countless stories from others that have and nearly all found the experience to be unbelievably surreal.

Unlike yourself, I'd be coming from a greater distance (Florida). While I would love to pick a location along the Eclipse path expected to offer the longest amount of time that will experience "eclipse totality", I'm thinking that a better approach may be to compromise "time of totality" with the choosing of a location that will best insure me of actually experiencing the event period. Others like myself may want to choose their Eclipse watching location in hopes to best ensure a region most likely to have good weather/sky conditions. There will surely be a lot of short to mid-range model watching as the event draws close! One very broad strategy that I am considering is to try and first pick one or more generally climo favored areas for early April, and then try and scope out smaller population towns (less traffic) with fairly easy access to decent multi-lane "Northeast/Southwest" oriented roadways (i.e. I-70 out of Indiana, or I-30 from the Texarkana area, or I-90 starting from around Cleveland). That sort of strategy will allow me to choose a "base location" well enough in advance, that I will plan on being at or staying overnight the day prior to the eclipse, but with an expectation and the ability to jump in the car and easily move up to 200 miles (or more if needed) in either direction in the hours leading up to the total eclipse if needed. I suppose other factors that i'll want to take into account will include typical driving conditions such as traffic patterns, number of lanes, flat verses hilly/mountainous terrain as well as locations apt to normally cast more shade due to heavily tree'd areas or tall buildings. I'll probably prefer to avoid large urban centers that could hamper movement, but also prefer to avoid single-lane and back-road thoroughfares as well.

It will last 4 minutes in the totallity areas so plan to go and see it as it will be a blast. There are only 400 days left for the show.

How fast does the shadow move? :lol: I might need a better car if I'm going to drive to where there's no clouds. We plan to head as far SW as we can and stay mobile'ish.

I'd be happy with a day like today, though Texans would have to drive NE.

Wow, is a 2 kind of show that day as apart from the total eclipse, Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks will be around when totallity comes.

Image

From articule:
But as the Sun is blotted out, darkness will fall during the day, rendering more than just the solar corona visible in the sky. Stars and planets will appear, lighting up amid the false twilight that occurs during a total eclipse. Several of the brightest stars and planets will come into view — and one special visitor: Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks

The date of April 8 is in the middle of severe season but hopefully, is all clear that day.
