Total Solar Eclipse July 2 - Yazata - Jul 2, 2019 In Chile and Argentina. The European Southern Observatory in Chile plans to do a live webcast here https://www.eso.org/public/live/ They say that the webcast starts 19:15 UTC (15:15 EDT, 12:15 PDT) It reaches maximum at 20:40 UTC (16:40 EDT, 13:40 PDT) RE: Total Solar Eclipse July 2 - C C - Jul 2, 2019 In contrast to the unpredictability of rocket launches, it's difficult to get enlivened about an eclipse that's only available by devices. Though scarce in a lifetime, looking at one overhead through filters at least feels more direct. Even the Taurid meteor shower is past peak now. So despite a couple of weeks of the tail-end of that in July, the already forlorn hope of a rare "hazardous impactor" blowing a crater in Fred Ziffel's pasture and lighting up the horizon has fizzled.

I'm not tremendously excited, but I do find it interesting though. So I'll keep checking in on their feed periodically. I need to see the Texas cowboys get their crazy steampunk spaceship off the ground in Boca Chica to really excite me. (MR's space-aliens landing would work too.) When the big American total eclipse happened a while back, I wasn't in the path of totality, but the Moon still covered most of the Sun. Watching bright daylight turn into a dim sunset-like dusk was pretty weird. |
