[SchlongConery]

Night and day': The coming solar eclipse will look very different in Toronto than it will from Niagara. Here's why

Thanks for posting that Phil

I didn't understand that thatt 99.98 would allow enough light past to illuminate the particles in earth's atmosphere. I''m still not going to go to NF.. I might I'll wait until next time 2124. Or maybe mother nature might provide that extra 0.00002% effect to make it beautiful!?!?

Trolling? I responded to your political comment in the eclipse thread.

Sorry pal but I gotta pile on and say responding to a political troll in a non-political discussion is almost as bad. I try not to but I do it too! I tried to be funny aboutthough. Sarchasm usually fails though too!

Well I dont disagree, but I am gonna defend myself by saying "He started it!!"

If you get stuck in traffic on your way to the Falls you can always get off the QEW and go to the most southern part of Burlington.
You'll get about 1 minute of complete darkness. If I cant make it to NF thats where I'll be (green dot)

I take everything back about Trump being a phony. That orange skin is not a "fake" tan!

Blind loyalty to Trump is required of the MAGA flea market merch opportunities Cult

right now it's looking like the best weather prospects are in Kingston and Montreal

Or stay locally and hope the Sun peeks out just around eclipse time

Looks like partly cloudy in Niagara as well. Fears of a mob scene might be overblown. On the other hand, there are people who have had every room in town booked for at least 6 months, and lots of yokels outside the totality band will think they can just come in for a day trip without much traffic. They should have been in the falls for the Walenda walk. A lot of people here are getting the day off, luckily not a holiday everywhere or there would be no doubt about zoo conditions...

Best way to watch totality, is on TV, bunch of suckers travelling all the way to Niagara for a few minutes of darkness, LOL!

 

[lurkerdick]

I wonder how many will be blinded afterwards?

You know there will be a TIKTOK challenge to look at eclipse without eye protection.

FWIW, I watched he last partial eclipse from Muskoka and it was kinda neat but nothing special. I think it was 1/2 obstructed.

But a friend of mine planned a motorcycle road trp through the Smoky Mountains (?) t coincide with the total eclipse. He said it was surreal! Fucking awesome and he doesn't swear! He was all set up to take pictures on th tripod but the sudden darkness was spellbinding and he simply didn't want to waste the experience even looking at his camera!

Believe me folks, you are in for a treat. I saw Totality in Oregon in 2017. I did take pics with my Mylar filtered SLR camera but was so impressed just looking at it. Look for Venus and Jupiter to shine in the darkened sky.

I am not taking chances, will go to Montreal for this. Granted some areas may have more minutes of Totality than Montreal but what does that matter if its cloudy ? Gotta go to where its clear folks.
