There is a total solar eclipse coming this year Aug 21st
Not a very wide path to see the total eclipse so book your room fast if you are going to travel to see it.

    This is long over do to get corrected But their is nothing us Members can do about, some see them and some don't.
    Log Off Clear Browser Cache restart computer 3 times and it should work
    I have two of each posted on as an Attached Image and the other one as image.
    (Attached Images) are the ones that need to be correct on the Forum. Why SOMETIMES the Links as show below work who knows.
    They are the Links to the Attached Image.

    Wow that is quite a narrow band. Charleston, SC would be the closest big city for me. Haven't seen a solar eclipse since I was a young kid. I remember a full lunar eclipse one time when I was about 15 - I took photos, which of course were totally black, lol.

    Might wanna update the post title, it's actually a Monday.
     
    I kinda chuckle each time I see this, everyone in the department wants to take off for the eclipse. I was the only one that actually scheduled for the time off back in december when you are supposed to plan your vacation for the year. 
     
    While the other fight over who gets to go and who gets to stay, Im the only one with guaranteed approved PTO.
     
    Can't wait to be pulling in some bass while waiting for this!

    Change it to "Total Eclipse of the Monday" ?  It is a total eclipse of the Sun not the Mon.

    Very close to me as it happens in NW Missouri. I will have to work that day, but I will be able to see it. One of my co-workers lives in St. Joseph Missouri which is supposed to be a huge area for people to gather right in the middle of the eclipses path. Their expecting close to 500,000 people to be around the area. And the path actually goes about 10 miles south of my house. Heck maybe I'll be a little sick that day lol.

    Driving a couple hours north of Boise, Idaho to a campground around a small lake.  Catching up with some friends from grade school.  Going early and staying late - traffic is going to be a horrible nightmare.

    Central Oregon is pretty awesome. Like under two hours and you can be in a whole other climate. It's like being at a space port where you are like less then two hours away from Endor, Tattooine and Hoth.
     
    Luckily I will have enough time to see the eclipse before work. Only bad thing is it's Oregon... Oregon does get some sun though last year it was on a Wednesday and I had to work the whole day....

    I'll be camping out, it's a fly-in for me. I'll probably spend a lot of my time flightline marshaling on the ramp.

    My buddy lives in Sparta TN. It doesn't get much better than that.

    Sparta, TN

    Sparta is in the path of totality for the Total Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017!
    Observers there will see (appx.) 2m 39s of totality!

    Just verified a welding mask works. Only my old one. The newer auto darkening one doesn't really trigger. Its like the sun isn't bright enough to trigger the changeover.
