Not here though…
The NorCal part lol. Was in a field in Monmouth for the show. ~15mi north of Corvallis on 99w.
Travel to where its at then, also 2045.
The appeal is the total eclipse, if you didn’t see that its not a big deal. There is another eclipse that will be partial in 6 years and you will barely hear about it even though many places will get just as good of a view as yesterdays (if they were outside the narrow path)
Man, to each their own. But I can’t imagine much more appealing than watching the menage a trois of ancient celestial bodies; whom have been in this dance for eons and will be doing so for eons to come. I mean, it’s bigger then watching a cool shadow, it’s like being privy to watching the clock of the solar system tick
Oh for sure, absolutely.
Not that it will effect us but another cool fact is the moon is slowly getting further from the sun so one day there will never be a total solar eclipse again. And long before that they will be a lot more rare especially the higher magnitude ones (which this one was not).
Yep, I know where Monmouth is. One of the last dry towns.
I used to live in Redding, CA, which is basically Southern Oregon.
I knew a guy from Redding.
He talked about blowing up squirrels with pipe bombs or some similar contraption, iirc.
Sounds more like Mt. Shasta.
… wouldn’t surprise me though.
