Is this a Freudian slip regarding tomorrow!?

that's just plain false. We had 77% here and I could tell we were getting close to the peak just by looking outside. It wasn't a major amount of difference, but it was a difference and it was absolutely noticable.

Wow you sounds like you're an expert!

How many eclipses have you experienced and photographed? Personally I have only done 4...

I have photographed multiple eclipses and you didn't notice much at 77% in fact I will bet you my house! No automatic lights came on, no dimmer switches were activated.

Here is one of my first in 2012! What um...percent you think that is? Cause I am gonna tell you bud it's more than 80%! I know I had to calculate it! And IT WAS NEARLY UNNOTICEABLE!

Here is Totality in 2017! Got some cool prominences on that one! You of course know what those are having studied and seen so many eclipses right...

Heck here is today! COMPLETELY negligible! Looks like pacman kinda though! lol

So tell me...no no actually show me the difference! Like I mentioned TWILIGHT doesn't happen until nearly complete totality. In fact when I viewed the last annular eclipse in Oregon due to clouds it was hardly noticeable of course it dims but it is not the same as totality!
Also here is science that pesky part that drives people crazy! It's not just plain false pal it's scientifically true...
"There is no such thing as a 99% total solar eclipse," Dr. Rick Fienberg, Project Manager, AAS Solar Eclipse Task Force at the American Astronomical Society, said in a press briefing. "Just like there's no such thing as being 99% pregnant — it's all or nothing."
You can tell me it was what you think you observed, which I cannot refute, however evidence doesn't even back you up!
You can also apologize for telling me it was absolutely false, but I doubt you will!

My brother lives in Omaha. 7 years ago he drove 2 hours West to see the total eclipse. This time he is driving all the way to Arkansas to see the total eclipse. He is already making reservations in Australia for going to see theirs ... in like 4 years or something like that.


thats because the democrats will get us all killed by the next eclipse in 2044

I slept through the event, as I didn't really care. But I did make a bet with a friend on whether or not an earthquake would happen. I won a single gold dollar.

I was outside for the total eclipse in 2017 talking to my neighbor. We didn't have glasses but smoked cigarettes together as the shadow passed.

"Cool dim, bro. It was nice to meet you." Lol, that was the last time I ever saw him.

So. No bad happend. Thread closed?

Not so fast!

Everybody falling for the earthquake doom porn should do their own research. For instance, the horrible New Madrin EQ happened on December 16, 1811, exactly three months after an annular solar eclipse which happened on September 17, 1811.

Major earthquakes are known to happen three months after an eclipse, so we're not pout of the woods until July.

Let the doom porn continue!!
