"All of that bullshit"?. I first heard of this double eclipse 3 years ago
You started a thread on it 2 years ago. I drove down 25 miles south Saturday to get closer to the "Bullseye". What do you want to know?

I will do a Spielberg and video with sound so you hear the animals and insects go silent as I pan to the flaming "Ring of Fire". I'll expect my UJR Oscar trophy in the mail very soon afterword.

ok. this is so weird. I just went outside and we are having a partial lunar eclipse. Only about 10% of the moon is visible. I wonder what the odds of a place on the globe having a near miss annular solar eclipse and then just a few days later having a lunar eclipse? I bet its nearly impossible.

:lol: Yeah, probably hasn't happened since last decade. BTW- last Saturday's eclipse was a total disappointment. Amazing what a difference between a "ring of fire" eclipse blocking 80% of the sunlight and a "total" eclipse with total darkness.

if you didn't take my advice and get a $5 welder's glass so you could look at it, then you would have just thought you were standing on a cloudy day

the pics taken with the right equipment were totally cool though.

My cellphone videos were useless. It was pretty eerie sèeing the near darkness but the nearby trees and bushes still had distinct shadows and my cellphone cameras compensated for the low light

the last partial eclipse that i was in, i poked a pinhole in a paper and looked at the shadow it cast. which was okay if that's all you have. but i also seem to remember that the shadows coming through the leafs and stuff also showed the crescent image. did you see any of that? little rings of light in shadow form?

Yea, remember my Dad showing me that when I was a kid. I wasn't there to see the eclipse with my own eyes, just the darkness, for a major reason
Of the 4 human senses, I only have 2 left. Speaking and sense of smell is gone forever. Not about to kill something important as eyesight by buying eclipse glasses at a convenient store like I saw one lady do
