Apparently chaos, someone into spirituality and astrology, told me not to look into it. They believe it's gonna bring 7 years of chaos into your life if you do.
No it happens up to 5 times a year, just depending where you are you don't get to see it. Then for a total eclipse that's more like a year and half. It's for sure not every 20 years and the last one that I saw was in 2017 so simple math's shows that's not 20 years ago lol.
There will be literally another one in August 12, 2026 "A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of the orbit on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, two days past perigee, in parts of North America and almost all of Europe. The total eclipse will pass over the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, Atlantic Ocean and northern Spain." Dunno where you are getting this 20 years from lol
@Kaneki05 I can remember one when my kids were little and it was around 20byears ago. We made a pinhole projector to watch it. Then I remember about 20 years before that and I was in our boat with my father and we watched it in the reflection of the ocean.
It's a total eclipse so it will be pretty radical if you're in the area, or can get there. Sadly the UK will only get at best a partial eclipse, so you Yankees are lucky for once.
Eclipse will unfold for a couple of hours but Just 4 minutes and 27 seconds of darkness in the magical path of totality. But that is considered rather long from what I've heard.
I'm at a spot with 98.7% coverage and while that sounds good, I won't get a dark sky :(
@supercutebutt I live in a place where we had totality. I thought it was going to be dark longer, but you're right, it was really only a few minutes. I didn't think it was going to be that big of deal, but my city had visitors from all of the world for it. We ended up going outside to watch it and I have to say that I was impressed. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen and is super hard to explain. Everything seemed to shift. Colors, sounds, the temperature. Everything felt like I was on another planet for a few minutes. All the streetlights came on in my neighborhood. People were cheering. It was crazy
It sounds like it was pretty nifty. I was thinking about driving somewhere like Cleveland but I was worried traffic would be terrible or I'd get there and see clouds. Apparently I was right about the traffic. A coworker said it took him like 5 1/2 hours to get home and that is like 3 hours longer than it should have taken. But the sky was pretty clear there. So I just have to accept that I saw 98.7%, which wasn't all that special, and move on. đ
@supercutebutt it was cloudy here off and on but once the eclipse got close to totality it cleared up. I didn't think that totality would be a big deal, but it was a huge change from 99%. I was like, oh shit, I can take my glasses off and look right at the sun lol. It was so freaky looking, and it felt like the world was ending. Very weird feeling but really cool to look at for a few minutes. I'm glad I didn't push it to the side like was originally going to do.

I am curious, to just see it. Never saw a solar eclipse before.

Just another day filled with my rock hard boners. The moon may eclipse the sun, but it will take lots of vagina to eclipse my boners.
just to distract you from what's REALLY going on in the real world...
One of my sisters birthday is on that day. So, we're going over to watch it with eclipse glasses, have dinner, and whatnot.
Nothing is coming. The christians believe their god is coming back, like they do whenever something "major" happens.
Didnât even know this. Canât be that serious
It's just x big rare not s big deal. We haven't chatted for awhile please dm me.
It is an event that only happens every 20 years. It is a pretty major natural phenomenon if you happen to be on its path
The last time it happened was around 2016/2017

@DreamLife7 Actrually you are right. the next one is in 20 years however,
There will be literally another one in August 12, 2026

Dunno where you are getting this 20 years from lol
Yeah I'm not sure where he's getting the number from either cause 2026 like you said will be another one.

There will be A LOT of traffic flowing into the main areas of the eclipse.
There's no need to prepare. For people on the path of totality it will get darker for a few minutes.
It's visible on American soil. That makes it sort of rare but not unique.
There's a bunch of spasticated religious nuts who think it's the Rapture. Mock them mercilessly.
If you can get to see it, you should, they don't come around often. I've only seen one, through clouds, in my entire life.

prepare for a couple hours of dark skies if you live in the path of totality.

They are rare natural phenomenons that require special goggles to look at them.
I think I heard from somewhere that itâs not gonna happen again in like forever
Whater it is: it will not be coming to my own region
Nothing is coming, it's just one object covering another, which doesn't happen very often, apparently
Prepare as in wearing the glasses thatâs all, it should be pretty good if youâre in itâs path , I know the animals will get confused and quiet
