Randomly noting: if you're in the US, in April of 2024, the US will have a solar eclipse pass over a bunch of states for the first time in 7 years, and for the last time in *decades*.

It is an indescribably wonderful experience to be in the zone of totality. This article kinda covers it:. If you're not sure if you've seen one, you haven't. It's the most bizarre thing where it feels like someone flips a light switch and turns off the sky. https://www.space.com/37791-go-see-the-solar-eclipse-in-person.html

Yes, the Solar Eclipse Is Worth the Hype (Trust Those Who Have Seen One)

E.C. Krupp, director of the Griffith Observatory, explains why you should really try to see the 2017 total solar eclipse. (Hint: It’s worth it.)

@mmasnick Is viewing roughly the same within the zone of totality, or does it make a difference to be closer to the center line?
Thank you for the heads-up!

@nicholson closer to center means much longer in totality. worth it to try to get pretty close... you want it to last as long as possible.
