SuncrestReef Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Posting this in the Out Of Bounds forum. Is anyone planning to travel to see the total solar eclipse that will cross North America on April 8th? I just booked a trip to Dallas TX to see it, so I'm crossing my fingers for clear skies. I have only seen two other total eclipses in my life, but only one with clear skies to see the entire event. My first one was in Australia in 2012, but the sky was mostly cloudy so I never got a good view. But in 2017 I saw the most spectacular view from Silverton, OR with perfectly clear skies, and I'm totally hooked on seeing another one. This one will last over 4 minutes compared to only 2 minutes in 2017. Here's the path: More details here: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/where-when/ Here are some of my photos from 2017: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krux Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 We watched 2017 from the top of the mountain at Tmberline, it was surreal! My parents went to Hawaii to see the eclipse around 93. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I’m going to just miss it ! Great pictures! April is usually a good time to go to Texas it’s like summer in Portland. There’s a good chance you’re going to have clear skies.😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
