I've been through 2 partial eclipses in the UK. In Aug 1999 (through Penzance), we were in the 85% coverage zone, you couldn't tell there was an eclipse. in 2015, we were in the 90% range, it got dim, like early evening. It was also our anniversary. I proudly, and falsely, claimed it was on purpose.

2024-04-14 01:54:07 +0000 UTCI'm in western Australia, and I think up north it has a longer totality, and far less likely to have clouds compared to a very busy Sydney. Just more effort to get there

2024-04-14 01:53:25 +0000 UTCI've really enjoyed some of the video reactions, but this one eclipses them all so far

2024-04-13 23:17:17 +0000 UTCI had already started blaming Bob when I saw the 10-day forecast. Everything turned out great tho! I got to see it from Broken Bow, OK.

2024-04-13 21:35:55 +0000 UTCMuch better weather than I had in Kerrville. I had been anxious about the clouds ever since the 10-day forecast was for thunderstorms, which never showed up while I was there. Luckily, the clouds thinned out enough to see about a minute or so of totality, and I got one good photo and a few fair ones. Glad you guys had a good one!

2024-04-11 22:22:04 +0000 UTCGlad you all saw it. And now you get it! We were in downtown Dallas. Who were those clueless people driving by during totality?

2024-04-11 13:37:16 +0000 UTCTravelled from Virginia to Arkansas for totality after listening to Cara talk about it so passionately. Did not disappoint! That was one of the most beautiful/bizarre/awe-inducing god damn things I’ve ever seen, and I wouldn’t have experienced it if it wasn’t for this podcast, so thank you!!
Michael Yunik
2024-04-11 11:50:49 +0000 UTCI was ready to blame Bob for the cloud cover. Glad they passed.

2024-04-11 01:06:44 +0000 UTCNortheastern Ohio started off with rain and complete cloud cover in the morning - and it all magically went away around 2PM. It was 70 and absolutely clear skies and the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

2024-04-11 00:39:46 +0000 UTCYay! Good for you Bob!
Brandon Cure
2024-04-11 00:09:31 +0000 UTCthe next solar eclipse is in 2026 from Spain to Iceland, and believe me we have marked both that AND australia/new zealand. So stay tuned

2024-04-10 23:52:19 +0000 UTCWe were at our hotel just outside of DFW. The clouds were a little thicker but we caught totality in a gap. Truly a lifetime memory and worth the trip!

2024-04-10 22:56:35 +0000 UTCI was at a micro brewery in the south of Quebec. we had a little over 3min of totality and they had Adirondack chairs. I don't like them normally, but their angle was perfect to sit and stare a the sun with my quality solar class and binoculars (with filters). no neck strain at all! it was such a great experience.
