- bryannnnn, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6but... its SHARK WEEK!!!!!!!
- thejwac, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6Earthquakes to follow, stay tuned.
- MrCobaltBlue, on 07/24/2008, -1/+6Publicity stunt by NBC to promote the new season of Heroes.
- RickyTheRiot, on 07/24/2008, -0/+5I saw the eclipse of 2005 in Southern Turkey. It was amazing. I never realised it would affect me in the way it did. The effect during a totality is like nothing you can describe. It's both beautiful, scary, awe inspiring and down right weird and freaky.
Sorry Digg, I know we are meant to rip stories like this apart but I can't recommend going to see one higher. It truly is amazing and no amount of photographs or live web feeds will prepare you for the utter majesty of the event happening right "above" you. - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4So I'm guessing Northeastern North America will only be partially eclipsed....damn.
- smegthelight, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3Check out http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEpath/SEpath.html
for the path for the eclipse.
The "Northern Canada" line is a bit of an understatement. It's more like "A bit south of the North Pole" . - Kratos76, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3That's what it said, but it also said the eclipse starts at 8:30am GMT... which is obviously 3:30am Eastern. I don't see how we're supposed to see it in North Eastern North America.
- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -0/+3sounds like it will be too north for me, but very cool!
- Bertram23, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2Fully agree. Made a trip from the UK to Antalya especially to see that and it was marvellous. Standing on the beach in the sunlight just before noon and watching the sky go dark, unforgettable.
- Paranoidmarvin, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2Every solar eclipse is a total solar eclipse somewhere, so the title is a bit misleading.
It'll just be a partial eclipse where I live, in the north of Scotland - Whiteknight117, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2Damn it, Rhode Island gets screwed again!
- DarkSideofMoon, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1I'm actually leaving next Tuesday morning to fly up north to Nunavut (territory in Canada) to do a short documentary on eclipse chasers, and what lengths some people will go to view them.
Where I'm going, totality of the eclipse will last only 90 seconds, and it could be cloudy that day, so I want to find out what "drives" people to chase them.
If you guys have any tips or suggestions for this movie, please let me know. It's a bit of niche subject, and I'd like for a lot more people to appreciate the beauty of solar eclipses. - Livert, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do.......... - Kratos76, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2Any ideas on why they said partial visibility from North Eastern North America... when it said the eclipse starts at 8:30am GMT... which is obviously 3:30am Eastern. I don't see how we're supposed to see it in North Eastern North America.
- tendonut, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1It's a total eclipse of the heart
Damnit, Livert beat me to it. - fuzzybutton, on 07/24/2008, -2/+3You may or may not see this eclipse but if you live in N. America you will be able to see (weather permitting) one on 2017.
Now here is the trick: Look under a tree and you will see thousands. I live in the woods and during the last one I ran all over the neighborhood telling people to look at the circular light shadows on the ground. Somehow light shining through tree leaves turn out circular when they hit the ground and during the eclipse you can see the shadow within the circular light.
No need for a piece of paper with a hole in it or welder's glasses or whatever other trick they tell you about. Just the other day I looked at the light shadows and noticed that most were in circular patterns small and large. Hard to notice but during the eclipse you can see the arc of the shadow with ease and their are lots. - fracai, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1sigh... isn't that always the way?*
- JeorgeVCastrus, on 07/31/2008, -0/+0Interessante reportagem de como o eclipse solar irá ocorrer a 1 de Agosto de 2008
- jgzman, on 07/24/2008, -2/+1Did we read the Article? No? I thought not.
First, it claims there are only 7 Totals per decade, (average) and that any given location will probably only see one every 375 years.
Add to that that it's pretty cool even if it were to happen every year, and it's worth a front page.
Hell, we have an election every 4 years, and it gets a lot more press than this. - jgzman, on 07/24/2008, -2/+1Think Canada. They are a lot more east and North, and should be able to catch a bit of it, although it will be early in the morning for them.
- grneye53, on 07/24/2008, -3/+1It already is happening it call the "Rogers unlocked IPHONE plan" and it's putting the lights out everywhere.
- BradDShea, on 07/24/2008, -8/+1What's new in this? Is it the first Solar Eclipse ever? wtf?
- fatcat, on 07/23/2008, -8/+1I wonder if there are any set to happen in 2012
