Who's giving odds on CTC becoming mute and blind?

There's a solar eclipse Saturday — but don't take photos of it with your phone

I'm thinking that Sunday came a little early for him.

Re: 12 days to go
"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.

Re: 12 days to go
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.

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 dayCentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:35 amAnimal wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:19 am ok. this is so weird.

Amazing what a difference between a "ring of fire" eclipse blocking 80% of the sunlight and a "total" eclipse with total darkness.
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 lightAnimal wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:38 amif 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 dayCentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:35 amAnimal wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:19 am ok. this is so weird.

Re: 12 days to go
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?CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 1:06 amMy cellphone videos were useless.

Yea, remember my Dad showing me that when I was a kid.
