Crispina Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Haven't seen anything on the forums about tomorrows event. Has anyone made special plans? Doing it Roman style - sacrifice, festival, dining? I'm in Ohio and will only see the partial, but got my glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldrail Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 This current eclipse isn't visible in Britain, but I remember the last full eclipse that was. Sadly typical British weather meant I couldn't actually observe it - but I went outside to experience it alone and the effect was peculiar. There was a silence, even in an urban setting, birds ceasing their constant twittering and immobile, nothing moving. It was all over in a few minutes of course but the experience is strangely profound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispina Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Even tho they called it a partial eclipse for our part of the country, I'd say we got a pretty good show anyway. Lasted from 1:06pm. to about 2:30p on Monday the 21st. Didn't get dark as in black, but definitely a grayish dark, the temp was 89 degrees but at the maximum you could really feel a drop in temperature. Apparently I had better hold on to my glasses as Ohio will be in the path of another eclipse, this time total, in 2024. Just hope I'm still around in 7 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldrail Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I saw something odd the other night. The moon was high in the night sky, a bright crescent - but what the.... The bottom corner was apparently lopped off, as if some unseen object was out there between Earth and our favourite orbital body. Or was it a huge terrain feature on the lunar surface as my work colleague suggested? It was a bit unexpected and not a little weird.
