There's an eclipse coming?  When?

Watching live coverage on NASA's FB page.

I'm watching not only the eclipse but also an auction that's scheduled to end right bang in the middle of totality here in the Central time zone. I'm wondering whether the seller planned it that way. I'm not expecting much competition from snipers on this one.

Heading outside shortly.  I'm trying to get my photos for the day finished beforehand.

We are in N.E. PA and we'll be watching around 2 east coast time.

My husband has a way to view it safely with his telescope.

The telescope reflects it back onto a paper or something, I don't know, lol.

My son & grandson are coming here to see it too.

Watching on TV. Not much happening in N Florida. I've seen several partial eclipses & that's all we are getting. No big deal.

1:14 PM here is Rhode Island and there is bright sunshine.

Hard to believe it will go semi dark  in 8 minutes.

@z50com On the east coast, gearing up for it - right now its 1:21 PM EST ... have the observation box all set up on the driveway ...

Surprised no one tried for a 'totality snipe' .................

Actally our news in RI is saying it will not maximize until 2:47 pm.

[z50com]

We got 65% coverage here in So. Cal.

It didn't really seem to get dark but the temp dropped 10 degrees and that is a good thing here in the desert.

Wish we had these more often.

For those in the dark zone I'm sure the experience is a once in a lifetime event.

DON'T LOOK AT THE SUN!
