Title: Total eclipse of the Sun, August 21, 2017
Post by: TopNotch on August 23, 2016, 01:25:46 pm
There will be a total eclipse of the Sun on August 21, 2017, which will pass over North Georgia. The totality over North Georgia will occur at about 2:30 in the afternoon, EDT. Wouldn't it be cool to be doing a trial run on that day?

Darned.  Just saw this.  I'm really in bad shape.  Two Days Late and Two Dollars Short.

No, you're fine. It's next year.

Well, that fixes 1 problem but I'm still $2 short.  Looks like Clayton Ga. to Franklin NC would be best for viewing, locally.

We have our special viewing glasses, and the viewing location.  Small preview the last few days.  I think we'll have to consider an alternate location, due to expected crowds.

Kindof cool, if you haven't seen this before.  I saw an eclipse twice when I was young, then a partial eclipse in the early 90's, then another partial eclipse a few years ago, but this will be the first time my kids will get to see an eclipse.
