"A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way"
"The sky calls to us

We will one day venture to the stars" -Carl Sagan
I remember a solar eclipse when my kids were small (or when I was small) (can't remember when it was). But the temperature dropped about 20 degrees. It was amazing. I hope that happens again here in the south.
You're going to have an awesome view, Sagan. It's path is next to you.
The Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about
Is this real why would it do that
Drop the temperature?CloudMaker
The sun was blocked and a shade came over my area. The temperature dropped drastically. It was awesome!

no u mean the moon lines up with the sun what are the odds of that
That's something you'll have to ask Sagan. He's the resident science guy.

This poor Irishman will never see a solar eclipse again in his lifetime. Next one visible from Ireland is not for about another 60 or so years. That is a full one. Not that we really ever saw many before with all the rain we get here. I can only recall one as a teen. Darkness in the day time. Eerie but amazing.

Muscail cailin. Nil Eire phairc den Riocht Aontaithe. Taimid ar ar fein Country. Buille faoi thuairim me nach bhfuil tireolaiocht do abhar is laidre? Ta me an fear agus broduil aisti Gaeilge.
Say what? That is the language of Ireland. Which is its own Country. Not part of the UK. Back to school you go.

Why is it United Kingdom if they're not united
Ireland isn't even part of the UK lol.
You may as well claim Mexico is part of the US.

Now now children. Play nice.
@Sagan , are you going to set up any type of viewing science stuff?
I remember when one of the best comets came barreling over, we went out to an oil field with a giant telescope.
When it's just you and sky there's just nothing like it.
