Title: Total Solar Eclipse in Northern Ohio
Post by: oldcarguy on April 09, 2024, 07:51:56 PM

Yesterday the 2024 total Solar Eclipse passed over Texas toward Ohio and onto Maine. If you missed the Eclipse this year, don't worry. They'll be another on Saturday August 23, 2044. We had the longest duration of nearly four minutes. And was everything that was predicted. Near total darkness, temperature dropped, birds stopped tweeting, certain colors were more brilliant while other's darkened and the shadows were neat. For the four minutes, you could see solar flares extending the moon's surface..  Sadly my camera couldn't capture the magic of the moment..  However I'm sure there's an abundance everywhere on the internet.

Very cloudy here in Pa. The few chances i got out at work, i could only see it for a few seconds before clouds covered it again. Would be interesting to see it through a telescope.
