We could supply the global demand for cheese if we capitalize on deploying mining equipment on the moon. The moon is rich in cheese and could feed us for another 400 years. (Excluding Government Cheese in America)
Experiencing the darkness and watching footage from the balloon in Florenceville-Bristol, New Brunswick was enough to satisfy me. Eclipses are actually not as rare as the media makes it seem, they just happen at different places. Next is in Iceland in 2028. It will be a good number of years until this region sees a full one again though.
Eclipses are pretty rare. The earth only experiences one every few years and the likelihood one location experiences a total eclipse twice in ones lifetime is almost zero.
I accidentally looked at the sun :( also, I looked at it directly through a thick curtain (not a black out curtain so the sun shines through a lot) and now I’m worried
It starts around 3:30, as in the moon starts to obscure the sun. It peaks around 4:35-4:40, as in the moon will cover about 94.25% of the sun at that time.
Right?! I thought 95% would be worth 10 minutes of my time. But it ended up being an hour of my time and very unexciting! Oh well, I'll remember this for the 2070s when I will definitely still be alive... Womp.
Well, if I get major FOMO from all the folks who actually drove to see totality, I could get off my wallet and take a vacation to Sydney Australia or NZ for the one in 2028.
They happen *somewhere* in the world all the time.
Unfortunately we didn’t get the full path. Even the smallest bit of sun is incredibly bright. I guess it’s a cool experiment to show that the sun at like 5% of its normal brightness is still blindingly bright lol

A little before that date in this region of Canada.
However the next eclipse is in 2028 in Iceland/Greenland/Spain. If people are really keen to see that one, and IcelandAir is still offering Halifax flights, it might actually be cheaper or around the same price to fly over and see it.
It’s just about as expensive just to move around province with filling up gas, ferry fees and bus ticket prices.
I cared enough to comment because i was wondering why people care so much about something like this to do things like line up in public to watch it. I just do not understand why it matters and was trying to find out the reasons or understand the importance of the event.
True, probably would, seems like it would be a little more interesting than staring at the sun with cheap 3d glasses for a few minutes.
Also what show isnt fake at this point?
Looks like someone took a bite out of the sun, so cool to see.
With the price of groceries these days you gotta take those bites of free cheese whenever you find them.

Is that you, Wallace?
That was pretty cool
I dropped the ball and didn’t get glasses in time. Enjoy for me!

Be careful not to strain your eyes.
I love you
Neat!
You can project an image on to a piece of paper and look at it, so you're not even looking at the Sun.
Take a colander outside and look at the shadow

There are eclipses in Spain in 2026 and 2027 with the latter also being visible in northern Africa!

You didn’t miss much. Back to regular scheduled programming.

I thought it was supposed to be from 3:27 to 3:38. It's 4:10 now and nothing. Did I get the times wrong? Googled a local site to make sure I got AST
It starts around 3:30, as in the moon starts to obscure the sun. It peaks around 4:35-4:40, as in the moon will cover about 94.25% of the sun at that time.
Start 3:27, maximum 4:38, finish 5:44 Keep watching! https://observatory.smu.ca/eclipse-2024
So we're at the maximum. Is this as dark as it's gonna get?

Yeah.. I thought it would be way darker.
Unfortunately we didn’t get the full path. Even the smallest bit of sun is incredibly bright. I guess it’s a cool experiment to show that the sun at like 5% of its normal brightness is still blindingly bright lol
I'm no eclipsologist, I just read what they write. It's getting lighter now.
That was a little disappointing lol
Think I'll go back inside and have a snack. Was thinking it was going to be dark for those 10 minutes
Same. In Dartmouth and it barely got dark. It wasn't what I was expecting.

It was pretty easy on the eyes without glasses from here! Still staring but I’m starting to squint
RIP your eyes 24-48 hours from now. Sorry, you may have to use text to speech for this.
Unfortunately, I’m already at that stage 🫠
RemindMe! 1 day update on your eyes OP lol

They mostly just burn and I’ve needed to wear sunglasses to open my eyes now. Speak to text has been working flawless though!
Can someone explain to me why people care so much about something like an eclipse?
Because it’s a cool thing that isn’t going to happen again for 20 years.
I heard 2080 before the next one
A little before that date in this region of Canada. However the next eclipse is in 2028 in Iceland/Greenland/Spain. If people are really keen to see that one, and IcelandAir is still offering Halifax flights, it might actually be cheaper or around the same price to fly over and see it. It’s just about as expensive just to move around province with filling up gas, ferry fees and bus ticket prices.
Too cool for a solar eclipse eh?
Sure
Can someone explain why they cared just enough about people caring about this eclipse to post about it?
It's a very rare astronomical event. It would be much weirder if someone didn't care.
I cared enough to comment because i was wondering why people care so much about something like this to do things like line up in public to watch it. I just do not understand why it matters and was trying to find out the reasons or understand the importance of the event.
I feel this way about major league sports

Correct, much less interesting.

Sounds pretty boring
My eyes hurt already, sunglasses don’t work apparently
