inthefrey Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 here were you? 4 years ago, We were in Spring CIty, TN. This was the point of maximum eclipse duration. Video by "inthefrey" Yes, sorry, this was a GEEK THING for me.... ENjoy~! "...okay, now we have to drive 9 hours..." And yes, God willing, on On April 8, 2024, I'll be on Presque Isle State Park (about 2 hours from the house) to see it again...! That eclipse will take a path across Cleveland and right off Presque Isle! If you don't catch this one.... My UNEDITED Video can be seen at this link address... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qHo-ySuLeQZVLoi-jnQPhz-6jxWacLta/view?usp=sharing Will you be around for the next one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aomagrat Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I was home in Lexington SC. It went right over my house. The street lights came on. Insects chirped, and stars came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbie18 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 There is a small private Christian school that was right in the path of ground zero back then in Tennessee. I was there with my two children and a few of their school friends entrusted to me. I was extremely grateful to have been invited and bring the young-ins with me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Great video, Frey! That was a cool day! Saw the partial through welder's goggles in Central Florida. If I make it to 2045, that total eclipse will be over either of my homes. I'd be over 70, though, and that ain't likely.

There were significant concern Betelgeuse was going to pop a few years ago as it was getting dimmer... The study says it was taking an enormous stellar poop! And of course, anything we see today happened 500 years ago... https://www.space.com/betelgeuse-red-giant-dimming-star-eruption.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
